Worship and Music Ministry
Our mission is to lead people in genuine worship that honors God and impacts lives. The passion of this ministry is to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ in all we do. The Worship and Music Ministry seeks to give people of all ages the opportunity to express their faith through music in a user-friendly environment. Whether you are a member of a choir or part of the worshipping congregation, we believe that the Holy Spirit uses music to touch the lives of believers and to bring those who may be seeking, into relationship with Him.
"Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker" Psalm 95:6
