Music Ministries

The McFarlin Music Ministry works to create music for worship that helps to open the hearts and minds of the congregation to the word of God. We strive to maintain environments that promote musical and spiritual growth. Through concerts we seek to add new interest among people of the surrounding communities to become a part of the McFarlin family of faith. Through our efforts of innovation and education we strive to reach the youth of Oklahoma for Christ through Music.

Upcoming Events

Holy Week Concert - The Crucifixion

April 13 @ 3pm

Join us for a powerful musical journey through Christ’s passion as McFarlin Music Ministries presents The Crucifixion by John Stainer. This stunning work for choir, soloists, and orchestra offers a dramatic and moving reflection on the sacrifice of Jesus, preparing our hearts for Holy Week. The Crucifixion is a sacred oratorio composed in 1887, blending scripture and hymn-like choruses to guide us through the events leading to the cross. This special Palm Sunday concert is an opportunity to reflect on Christ’s love and sacrifice through breathtaking music.
