Medford Church Releases Worship Album

In September, the Medford Adventist Church celebrated a milestone in its ministry with the release of its first praise and worship album, "All Voices, Vol 1". This heart-felt and self-produced album, recorded live during church services under the "Medford SDA Worship" label, is a gift to the congregation and beyond.

The album, featuring more than 25 musicians from the church, reflects the diverse talents within the Medford community and the shared desire to glorify God. "All Voices, Vol. 1" serves as more than a collection of songs; it is an invitation to worship, connecting listeners to God through a familiar and authentic sound.
