VISION
Our vision is to “develop worshippers who impact the world around them.” We believe worship is a lifestyle response to a holy, omnipotent God. Praise is declaring what God has done, is doing, and will do. Worship is declaring who God is. We have an awesome responsibility: we are more than just musicians - we are worship leaders.
Covenant
1. Core
We aim to deepen our understanding of true worship and commit to worshiping God with our whole being. Worship is a lifestyle, and we strive to live sacrificially for Him.
2. Character
We seek Christ-likeness through prayer, private worship, regular Bible reading, Bible study, and living a life reflecting His likeness. We also commit to tithing and honoring God with our finances.
3. Craft
We recognize God's gifts and commit to excellence through practice, playing/singing as directed, being prepared for rehearsals and services, being open to changes, and attending required classes.
4. Community
We value healthy relationships within the Worship Ministry, committing to trust, encourage, resolve conflicts with forgiveness, walk in unity, be accountable, and have fun as a team.
