WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THE WORSHIP TEAM?

Here is what they do!!!

To produce quality music and worship that glorifies God and encourages seekers and believers to draw closer to Christ during worship and praise.

Could it be you? We continually seek those who wish to use their talents and gifts in the Worship Ministry. You may be a singer or play the instrument, the Lord wants and needs both. Those who volunteer for Worship have schedules change and because of that volunteers are needed all the time. We currently need musicians and worship singers. The more we have the better.

When would you be needed? The Worship Team rehearse with others on Tuesday nights to practice for Sunday’s worship and to have our own worship and fellowship during that time. Sunday morning, we have worship rehearsal prior to Sunday service and then lead the congregation with corporate worship.

If you think this may be you, please contact me.

In Christ Love
