Worship Arts Team – We Want Your Help!

Have you been looking for a way to serve?  Our Worship Arts team needs you!  We are looking for servant leaders who are willing to serve on our Sunday Morning Worship  and Audio Visual Teams.  If you have the ability to sing, play an instrument (any instrument), or would like to learn how to serve in the Sound booth to learn various skills including sound board training, video/camera operation and working with Worship Tools to present words and scripture on the screen for worship service, please see Pastor Aza or Brother Chris.

Here are 3 reasons why you should join:

1. A place to develop your gifts and be equipped to serve.
2. Wonderful team of believers who support each other and pray for each other.
3. Youth Alert! If you are looking to gain credits toward your volunteer service, this is a great way for you to earn those credits!
