The Choir is an essential part of worship at Bethel Mar Thoma Church, Bedford. The rich liturgy of the Mar Thoma Church, with its theologically and biblically sound prayers, hymns, and chants, is a unique feature of Eastern worship. To uphold this heritage, the Church Choir plays a vital role in leading the congregation in meaningful and heartfelt worship.
The purpose of the Choir is to support the Holy Qurbana and to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through songs. Music uplifts the spirit, helps believers in their walk with Christ, and unites the congregation in worship. It also provides an opportunity for individuals to use their God-given talents to glorify Him and to be an integral part of the worship experience.

In the same way, the Choir on earth reflects this heavenly worship, filling the church with songs of praise and thanksgiving.
