Mission
The mission of the Music Ministry is to lead the congregation of Christian’s Community Center of Los Angeles (CCC) in praise and worship of Yahvah (God) the Father and our Savior Yeshua Mashiach (Jesus Christ). It is our sincere desire to spread the Savior’s True Hebrew name “far and wide” in the medium of anointed music. It is also the mission of CCC’s Music Ministry to present the highest level of excellence in music that is attainable. This level of excellence is required of every member of CCC's Music Ministry. The members’ commitment, however, is not limited to musical skill and talent, but also to their overall walk as believers in Yeshua. Every member of CCC's Music Ministry is considered a worship leader and, as such, must conduct himself or herself as an example of the transformative power of our God. It is, furthermore, not the goal of the Music Ministry to just sing, but to sing in the anointing of the Holy Spirit both inside and outside the church walls. Finally, it is the goal and objective of this Music Ministry to achieve musical excellence through the same kind of love, compassion, faithfulness, strength, truthfulness, self-control, patience, and motivation for service displayed by our great example, Yeshua.

Pastor Thom & The Cathedral Voices
Our legacy group with recorded music. Signed to Sound of the House Records, The Cathedral Voices Praise Team consisted of members of CCC's Music Ministry. The members of TCV were worship leaders who are recognized as having received the calling of Yahvah to minister in worship. This group of leaders developed a relationship with Yahvah (God) as true worshippers. TCV members were also skilled singers and/or musicians who demonstrated the attributes of ministry. Together they created a number of albums still accessible on all music sharing sites. Pastor Thom's legacy will always live on through his ministry and his music.
The Praise Team
Led by Joy Washington-Cobbs, the praise team is a singing group that delivers our worship service each Sunday. This group consists of believers who feel moved by the power of gospel music utilize their vocal skills to bring everyone in the congregation together through song. This group is open to new singers through an audition after a request.
