Vision

Our vision is to enable the full, conscious and active participation of the people at Vansickle by inspiring them to worship in spirit and in truth.

What We Believe About Worship

Worship is our personal and corporate response to God, in spirit and in truth, for Who He is, and what He has done. It is expressed by what we say, sing and the way we live. Our Worship and Arts Ministry includes singing and playing instruments, with the periodic use of dramatic illustrations, video and other media.  We do not believe that just singing praise to God in a church service is, in and of itself, worship. Worship is the totality of a lifestyle lived in surrender and praise to our Lord in all we do.  However, we do believe that singing praise to God is a command to all (Psalm 66:1-2, 1 Chronicles 16:23-25) and is a powerful way to respond to our God and King. Also, the message that our music and songs communicate is of the utmost importance to us.  Whether our music is loud or soft, fast or slow, new or old, with a full band or without, matters little in comparison to the message of the song. We believe our enjoyment and praise of the Lord brings Him glory, so praise is not ultimately about what we want, need, desire, or prefer.  Worship is an end in itself and He is all we need.

Opportunities to Serve

Praise Band (Rehearsal Time: Wednesdays 6:45-8:00 PM) - Worship Center

This is a select instrumental group that leads out in weekly services - acoustic, rhythm, electric, and bass guitars, piano, keyboard, and drums. Must be proficient on instrument with the ability to read lead charts, chord charts, and/or music.  We are always looking for additional talent to add to this group and we work on a rotating basis.  If you are interested in possibly being a part of the praise band, please contact Ron Finley, Worship Pastor, to schedule an interview/audition.

Worship Choir (Rehearsal Time: Wednesdays 7:30-8:45 PM) - Worship Center/Choir Suite

As a Vansickle member, you have the opportunity to be a part of one of our most dynamic ministries in the church. We are seeking people who have passion for praise to come alongside us as we lead our church family.  The worship choir is open to all individuals 17 and up, there is no audition required, and ability to read music is not necessary. Being a part of the Vansickle Worship Choir will not only change your life, but you will also be directly involved in impacting countless lives for the glory of God.

If you have a passion for worship and a desire to lead the church in praise, then come by a rehearsal and join us and see if the worship ministry is where God is leading you!

Media Team (Volunteer times: Wednesdays 6:45-8:00 PM and Sundays meet at 8:00 AM)
