New Music at Grace Church in Dover

Grace Church in Dover has some exciting new music in place just in time for Easter! With an uplifting, contemporary feel, young and old alike are tapping their feet in time with the new worship music at Grace Church. Prominent local musicians Robert Christopherson and Brad Faucher combine the sounds of keyboard and electric guitar to create a style of worship that is both introspective and joyfully upbeat. Whether playing ancient hymns and newer worship music, both are played in a way that is deeply moving and which enriches the message that is being brought forth. The congregation, consisting of many generations, are finding the music to be mutually enjoyed by all.
