Why We Sing Without Instruments

At Christ the King, the congregation sings the Psalms together without instrumental accompaniment.

The conviction behind the practice

Instrumental music in the Old Testament sanctuary was part of its ceremonial worship. We believe Christian congregations are called to sing praise to God without instruments.

Pastor Anderson’s study explores the biblical basis for this conviction in greater depth.

Passages to consider together

Read 2 Chronicles 29:25–30 in its temple setting. Then read Colossians 3:16. What does each passage explicitly describe or command? Distinguish those statements from the conclusions drawn when relating the passages.

These questions provide a starting point for discussing worship with our elders.

What this means for a visitor

You do not need musical training to join us. Listen to the congregation, follow the words, and begin singing as you become familiar with the tune. If you need help learning, please ask.
