Worship & Arts
"Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!"
Psalm 34:3
The Psalms admonish us to "Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!" (Psalm 149:1b) We value Biblical, authentic expressions of praise in music and congregational worship.

Musicians & Music Team Leaders
From Miriam's Tambourine to David's Harp, to the Trumpets at the dedication of The Temple, instrumental worship has been an important part of the life and worship of God's people from Genesis onward.
Our musicians are an integral part of our worship, everything from keyboard, to organ, to drums, to the bass. The purpose of those who lead in worship is not to produce an emotional experience, but to acknowledge God’s singular worthiness to be worshiped. Most worship leaders are musicians of some kind, whether vocal or instrumental, and their primary role is to lead the other musicians/singers that are involved in the service. It is the responsibility of the worship leader to ensure that it is not the music, nor the instruments, nor the presentation, nor the voices which are the focus of the worship service. Worship is bowing humbly before God and exalting Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. The responsibility of the worship leader is to become less, that Jesus Christ can become more. And when all of this is done, when hearts are humble before Him, His people are ready to receive, and be changed by, the focal point of the worship service—His glorious and living Word.
