Bible verse of the day:
Worship and Music
OUR PURPOSE is to help the members of the congregation experience the presence and glory of God through participation, service and leadership in corporate worship. We use both contemporary and traditional instruments and songs in worship; we're seeking a blend wherein perhaps not every person will like every song or hymn, but everyone will find something that lifts them above the mundane and into worship.
OUR MINISTRY TEAM (aka “committee”) meets monthly.
IT’S AMAZING TO CONSIDER ALL THE THINGS THAT GO INTO THE PREPARATION AND LEADERSHIP OF JUST ONE WORSHIP SERVICE!

Multi-Media Ministry
Psalm 81 begins, “Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob! Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre.” In this ministry you will be trained to record and distribute these and other glad noises and pictures of a joyful worship! We run the sound mixing, audio taping and video camera to record our minister’s words, the music and the scenes of each worship service and special event. Those not able to be with us in worship may recreate their own worship experience through tapes and recorded materials. We are a state-of-the-art facility but anyone can be trained in its operation. If computers are your thing then we are right down your alley with our software projection system. Come help us extend this ministry of information processing, distribution, display and recording.
