Music Ministry

CSE's Music Ministry is focused on providing a transformative environment for worship that facilitates healing, divine remembrance and spiritual awakening. Music in our worship services ranges from devotional chanting in support of the deep silence of the soul in meditation to celebratory music that praises God and arises from the awakened heart.

At the age of 7, she began putting down her gospel roots singing and touring with her church's choir and eventually this early love of music became her life's calling. www.sistamonica.com
