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.
