Grace Covenant is blessed with all kinds of musical gifts and they’re expressed on all kinds of instruments. Each of these ensembles share in worship and rehearse as scheduled by their directors and they are intergenerational. It is always a highlight in worship when any of these ensembles play in worship or at other events.
