"Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father" (Colossians 3:16-17).
Vision: We serve our God by serving His people in “encouraging one another with songs, hymns and spiritual songs" (Colossians 3:16)
Mission: To usher...

Objective: Each week, the music presentation will be different, sometimes being led by a small team but other times led by a chorale, a full band or even an acoustic setting.
At STBC, we communicate that worship does not connote a specific style, thereby giving us the creativity to include a variety of hymns and spiritual songs, as well as today’s praise choruses.
Songs and programming elements:
- Songs that are truth and are honoring to God.
- Songs and programming that can be the words and expression of the body.
- Execution with excellence and humility, and servant hearts.
- Programming that can stand before God himself.
Environment:
- Points to God, displays reverence, joy, encouragement and stewardship.
- Displays true love and fellowship and genuine care and welcome.
- Living testimonies of those involved – in all aspects.
