CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP BAND

Modern Worship with Heart and Purpose

The Contemporary Worship Band leads the 11:00 AM service, rehearsing at 10:00 AM each Sunday morning. The group includes vocalists, guitarists, keyboardists, drummers, and other instrumentalists united by a shared love of worship and community. Together, they help create an authentic and uplifting space to encounter God through music.

Behind the scenes, our sound and tech crew brings excellence and heart to every service. If God has gifted you with technical skills or creativity in production, you can serve meaningfully through the music ministry.
