Worship Ministry

Welcome to the Worship Ministry. We’re so glad you are exploring using your gifts in one of our many ministry opportunities.

The goal of Worship is to glorify God, and to magnify His name. Worship is about Sunday mornings, and a whole lot more. Have you ever considered that we can magnify God in everything we do? It’s all about the attitude of the heart. If you choose to take part in Worship ministry, we are confident you’ll find new dimensions in your personal growth as well, and ways to fulfill God’s purposes for you.
Look over our offerings and ask God if there’s a perfect spot here for you. We hope you’ll find exactly what He wants you doing. At Faith, we believe “blessed to be a blessing” is a responsibility we all have!
