Contemporary Band
"Good News! Praise
Team & Band"
Good News! Praise Teams leads worship every Sunday for the 11 am service. Their rehearsal time is prior to the first service, beginning at 9:45 am in the Worship Center. This is to facilitate use of sound system and media as they pertain to effective worship. The instrumentalists are always looking for more players. An audition consists of sitting in with the band and keeping up with a very fast-paced rehearsal. Currently auditions are not necessary but one assumes a rudimentary knowledge of music theory and a good ear. Most music is a lead sheet format with melodic line and chords over lyrics. Harmonies are improvised. Inspiration comes from Darlene Zschech and Hillsong-Australia, Matt Redmond, Dennis Jernigan, Paul Baloche, and whatever is current on the radio that is worshipful and Christ-centered.

Sanctuary Choir 
The Sanctuary Choir rehearses each Sunday morning in the Music Suite at 8 am. New members are assigned a robe and music. This choir leads 8:30 am service and special worship events, as well. The Sanctuary Choir is non-auditioned and welcomes all who love to sing and are committed to rehearsals and worship. It is a fellowship with a fellowship as deep and abiding friendships are formed to last within this body of Christ. Basic elements of music theory and vocal technique are stressed in a non-threatening atmosphere ensconced in prayers and devotions. Most music is SATB. Some solo work is auditioned. A wide variety of music is explored but the fundamental accompaniment is organ or piano.
