• Our music is dynamic, upbeat, powerful, and mostly original - written by Lytingale, Dave de la Rosa, and others.
• Our style of music embraces and includes: folk, rock, jazz, pop, bluegrass, New Age, and a touch of classical.  We very rarely do traditional "church" music, and we pay attention to the ideas expressed in the lyrics.
• We do not use hymnbooks - we use mostly original songs for group singing, and we project the words using PowerPoint onto a big screen.
• The philosophy for many of these choices is explained in Growing Your Church Music Program, a book and workshop by Lytingale.

"The music today was transportational.
I often find myself in a different realm when I listen to you sing
or to your band play.
You truly are the best in the land."
- Rev. Pat Jobe 

• We open our service with an upbeat Prelude song (usually featuring our guest artist; often a jazz standard), followed by our welcome song "We Are All Friends Here" (first as an instrumental jam, then with everyone singing the words.)
• We sing one group song together (or two carols during the Christmas season).
• Our guest artist chooses a solo to perform in the early part of the service.  A solo leads into the Meditation, and a third solo is performed during the Offering.
• We sing "The Lord's Prayer" together (in A or G) toward the end of the Meditation time, then sing "We Are Healing" and "Amen" following the prayers.
• We sing "The Peace Song" at the end of each service.

• The Unitic Band and/or Trilogy (a trio of Lyte, Dave, Joel) also perform for regional retreats & conferences, benefit concerts, and the occasional wedding or party. 
• Lytingale also provides music for many wedding ceremonies.
