"A vital ingredient of worship is expectancy; believing that something good is going to happen."
- R.T. Kendall
Tech
We have a vibrant team of technicians of all skill levels that use audio, video, photography, lighting, streaming and more to facilitate a space for our church to gather and worship. If you'd like to learn a new skill, we'd love to train you up!
Band
A usual Sunday morning involves a team consisting of drums, bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, and saxophone! If you play an instrument, we'd love to get you involved! Reach out and we can schedule a (non-intimidating) audition. 😊
Vocalists
We don't have a choir, but we have a small army of vocalists who love to use their voices to glorify God. If you have a passion for worship and can sing harmonies... would you like to sing with us?
Join the team!
Most of our team members serve once a month. For band/vocalists that involves rehearsals on Thursdays (6:30-8pm). Then everyone comes together on Sundays at 8am for a full run-through.
