Other Service Opportunities

 While we have listed many of the musical groups with which you may desire to participate, there are also other ways for the congregation to be involved.

Instrumental:  If you play an instrument and desire to be used in the worship services and or rehearsals to accompany groups, congregational singing, or special music from time to time, please speak to the Director of Music about various possibilities to use your talents for the Lord.

Vocal: There are opportunities from time to time to be scheduled for special music.  these are not times to "show case" your vocal abilities, but rather to be used of God to minister through song.  However, because there are so many opportunities to be involved in a vocal ministry, we encourage you to seek those avenues first and become involved in any area where you can make the time commitment. 

Audio/Visual Media:  This behind-the-scenes ministry is vital to our music department! There is always a need for those who are willing to be trained in running the sound system, lighting, video recording or Power Point presentations for various services and productions.  If you feel God leading you to serve Him through on of these ministries,  please speak to the Director of Music.
