Worship Ministry

Vision:

To introduce people to Jesus Christ through the lyrics of music, help them grow in Christ-like maturity by singing of Biblical truths.

Goals:

To show God’s love and grace to believers and non-believers through the ministry of music, and to present our thanks and praise to God for all that He is, all that He does in our lives, and all that awaits us in His glory.
To teach, equip, and encourage the church body through worship in song. To provide a weekly time of devotional Bible study, prayer and fellowship, as well as weekly rehearsals; and to offer workshops and seminars for the purpose of improving our skills.
To raise up those who are called as worship leaders from among the body who can grow and develop their skills in leading worship, both in small and large group settings.
To encourage worship team members to share their faith and pour their lives into others, who can in time do the same.
To grow the ministry as the church body grows, by being inclusive of the new people whose gifting God brings to the church body.
