Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
Psalm 95: 1-2 niv

Praise Team
Our Praise Team leads the congregational music at the 11:00 Hallelujah Service on Sunday mornings. We welcome singers and instrumentalists. Come join us and offer your musical gifts in service to the Lord. We meet to rehearse on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m.


Instrumentalists
Do you play an instrument? There are always opportunities to share your musical gifts during the worship services as a soloist, as part of an ensemble, or as an accompaniment to a choir.

Left Hand Gospel Band
The Left Hand Gospel Band has been helping with worship at Central since 1992. We named ourselves after Left Hand Creek, which runs through the town of Longmont. (Any reference to Mathew 25:41 is accidental and unintended.)

Our six-member group plays sacred roots music. A lot of people would say we play bluegrass, but bluegrass musicians will note that we don’t have a banjo. We play folk music, bluegrass songs, some modern a cappella arrangements, and an old hymn or two.

We love traveling to churches up and down the Front Range and playing for folks there. Sacred music can help us open our own doors up and let the Holy Spirit in. We thank our Lord and Savior for the gift of song. We aim to use that gift to enable people to see Him more clearly, and to bring them closer to God. And we hope our music shows that “Presbyterian Gospel Band” is not an oxymoron.
