Unity in Diversity – We Have Everything We Need
Within Each Other
Alone, we can do one thing, but together, we do better. We value the power of unity and collaboration, recognising that each person’s contribution strengthens the whole.
"For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." — Romans 12:4-5
Community and Fellowship
We are not a church, but we believe strongly in the power of community. We foster a sense of belonging, love, and support within our choir and beyond. We believe there is power in the church and are aware that the devil is trying to break it. We pray each person finds a community other than us where they can also feel safe and loved, as it is for the very church Christ died for. We know it is not always easy, but we ask God for resilience to stand strong.
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." — Hebrews 10:24-25
Come As You Are and As You Can
We know life can be hectic, so we use MFH as a space to be free. Our doors are always open. We believe you should come when you can, but also come as you are. We believe that God loves us all and will never judge.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28
Service and Outreach
Our mission extends beyond our choir as we seek to serve and uplift those in our community, using our music and actions to make a positive impact.
"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." — Matthew 5:16
Faith in Action
We are committed to putting our faith into action, not just through our music, but in how we live and interact with others daily.
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." — James 1:22
Stewardship of God-Given Gifts
We believe all should use their God-given gifts to serve and support others. Each member’s unique talents contribute to the richness and effectiveness of our mission. We use workshops and sessions from industry professionals to teach us skill and wisdom. We thrive on excellence and believe it is God who qualifies us. By submitting ourselves to the call and His word, we aim to reach excellence.
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." — 1 Peter 4:10
Perfecting God’s Calling
We can never be perfect, but we aim towards excellence every day. We strive to perfect the calling God has placed on our lives, not just in our musical skills, but in our character as well. We achieve this through workshops, meetings, and learning from industry professionals and those well-versed in the Word. It’s about growing in both our craft and our lives, becoming more aligned with God’s purpose for us.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." — Colossians 3:23
Dues
"You Put Money Where You Place Value" Among all this, we believe in gratitude. Our dues are a reflection of the value we place on this organisation. For the space it gives us, the home, family, and community, a place to rehearse, to laugh and cry, to get better in skill, to experience new things, and to reach new horizons, our monthly dues differentiate you as members and give you access to special MFH benefits.
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." — Matthew 6:21
