Loving God
Worship & The Arts

"Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship." John 4:23 The Message

We believe that it is our calling and privilege to guide the church using the Arts in various expressions of praise. And although quality is extremely important to us, we are equally concerned with becoming the kinds of people whose lives bring worship to God. Together, we use the arts to draw our eyes off of ourselves and onto our Creator.

Worship Team
Worship teams are typically made up of vocalists and a rhythm section. Currently vocalists sing once a month. The rhythm section consists of an acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboard and drums. Brass instruments are also a part of the mix. Instrumentalists cycle through on a rotation monthly based on availability. Our teams lead for the Sunday morning services. Worship Team rehearsal follows the choir rehearsal on Thursday evenings in the Worship Center at 7:30pm. For more info on how to get involved, contact Randy Janzen or Rod Henczel in the church office at 732-9107.

Neighborhood Singers
Leading the way in worship! More than singing on a Sunday, Neighborhood Singers is about finding a place to belong. You’ll connect with people of all ages, from those who have journeyed with Christ for many years to those fresh in their new-found faith…from musical pros to those who simply sing for the joy of it. This group of vocalists meets in Room 1 on Thursdays from 6:30 - 7:30pm. Our time together is made up of worshiping, praying and learning songs for numerous services throughout the year. For more info, contact Randy Janzen or Rod Henczel.

Children's Music
We have three Children's Choirs that offer children a great time of worship, and opportunities to minister through music. The Choirs meet on Wednesdays from 6:00 - 6:40pm. The kids will also sing a couple of times a year in our worship services.

Drama
Through an illustration, short sketch, or even a full length play, the Drama ministry is more than simply performing; it’s proclaiming the truths of God’s Word. If you have a ministry desire either on the stage (actors and actresses) or off (scenic design and construction, stage crew, costuming, decorating, etc.), consider joining us. Contact Jen Reimer.

Ushers
Do you like meeting new people and helping folks feel at home?  We have opportunities to serve as an usher during our morning worship services.For more information contact Randy Janzen.

Prayer Ministry
A ministry dedicated to serving the people of Neighborhood after Sunday services. We offer prayer, encouragement, support, a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on - we join people where they are at. For more information contact Randy Janzen.
