WHO WE ARE                                                        

We're a collection of artists, techs, and prayer warriors whose sole aim is to enjoy God’s presence and invite everyone into an atmosphere of dynamic, authentic worship.  We employ the beauty of the arts and the power of prayer to invite God to change lives.    

Our music, dramas and productions are designed to inspire the believer and challenge the seeker.  In everything we do we strive for humility and excellence.  We are passionate  about the ministry of reconciliation through conflict.  Unity is absolutely vital to our success.

OUR MISSION                                                        

To lead people into a lifestyle of authentic worship and a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ.

"God brought us back to himself through Christ and has given us the task of reconciling people to him." - 2 Cor. 5:18 

 

 

April 2, 2008

We're making great strides!  We've added 1 lighting tech and 2 sound techs to the mix.  Woohoo! 

The Worship Arts Leadership Team began meeting mid-March every two weeks to wrestle with issues facing the worship arts ministry.  They've been a strong support and challenge me personally to be authentic and tenacious.

Lastly, we're practicing the Stewardship Principle: "we own nothing--God owns everything--we're simply managers."  All sound equipment needs to be checked out before taken out of the ministry center or off-site.  Contact me directly to coordinate when your ministry event needs to sign out sound equipment.

Thanks for being awesome stewards!
