Music Ministry
II Chronicles 5:13-14 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God. Learning to worship God through praise and adoration is one key to a victorious Christian life. Leading others to do the same is also a great blessing. Involvement in the Music Ministry gives you the opportunity to do both! Regardless of your age or musical background, the Music Ministry has something to offer you.

Worship Warriors Prayer Ministry
The great privilege of Worship Warriors is mobilizing Intercessors and Prayer Warriors to pray a covering over the Worship Services, and to usher in the Holy Spirit’s presence. They take on the role of Pray-ers, before Service and while Service is taking place. Praying before the Service allows the Holy Spirit to prepare us spiritually to receive from Him. Our prayers make a difference in the Spiritual atmosphere. Some Worship Warriors pray before Worship Services, while others pray as the Service is taking place. A Deacon will be assigned each week to help facilitate the time of prayer.
