About Chelten Church of Hope:
The music at Chelten is God-centered, scripturally rich, and intended to draw our congregants closer to Him. Songs are carefully selected and ordered to communicate theological truths and to turn our affection to God. The Director of Music’s role is to unite our hearts and lead us humbly to His throne in corporate worship, and they should have a passion for serving that vital role. The musical style is contemporary and diverse, with a mix of newer songs and older hymns. There’s presently an extensive list of talented volunteer musicians to pull from each week, allowing the Director of Music both creativity of instrumentation and style, as well as flexibility of scheduling and availability. The resulting variety of ensembles from one week to the next coincidentally display Christ’s call for us to live in loving community, while also reflecting the broad demographics of our congregation.
