There is a long tradition of musical excellence at University Baptist Church. We recognize that sacred music is neither an optional extra nor merely spiritual entertainment within the worship of the church. It is an essential part of worship and, therefore, must have integrity and quality appropriate for its prophetic (bringing the Word of God to the congregation) and priestly (bringing the congregation's words of praise to God) roles.
