“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Col. 3:16
Mission: To offer God a “sacrifice of praise” by leading the congregational singing to acknowledge God’s greatness and worth.
Outreach: Once a month, the team ministers at a local nursing home. They provide music, devotions and gifts to the residents throughout the year. We pursue outreach opportunities, as the Lord provides, that do not interfere with serving the Lord in our local assembly.

Sometimes the problems we encounter seem too much to bear. As we walk through the valley of the shadows, our pain and losses can be overwhelming. But God promises that through all of this, He is with us, providing the peace that passes understanding. And ultimately, we realize that in the place of a perfect life on earth, we're offered a perfect eternity in heaven.

When times are tough, we can discover God’s grace beyond pain as a beacon of light in strength, hope and peace. Yet everyday the greatest evidence of grace is simply God’s forgiveness, and we can feel this grace in the wonder and peace of knowing the Lord. Take a journey into the holy presence of God’s grace with Evidence of Grace; the latest worship musical from the acclaimed creative team of David T. Clydesdale and Steve Moore. Evidence of Grace delivers your congregation a deeper understanding of grace with its dynamic musical mix of triumphant praise songs and soulful ballads of humble confession. It includes fresh, creative arrangements of popular worship songs, including a choral arrangement with a new video to accompany the Dove Award winning song “I Can Only Imagine.” A unique feature, the DVD is designed to provide audio and video accompaniment from start to finish, helping churches easily create a powerful multi-media choral presentation that includes poignant video segments, lyrics for special moments of congregational participation and touching testimonies that illustrate the musical’s message including the story of Steve Moore’s own triumph over cancer.
From the words scrawled by Francis Scott Key in the dim post-battle light of 1814, to the valiant struggle of six Marines to plant American colors on Iwo Jima, to the empowering sight of New York firefighters raising the stars and stripes against the desolation of September 11th, the American flag has come to symbolize the freedoms, rights, and personal liberty that Americans cherish. It is out of this sense of national heritage and faith in freedom that the musical, Our Flag Was Still There, was borne. From Deborah Craig-Claar and David Clydesdale, creators of the best-selling patriotic musical The Home of the Brave, Our Flag Was Still There masterfully blends narrations with inspiring testimonies and powerful new songs with traditional anthems, challenging the listener to “pledge allegiance again” not only to the flag, but to God and country. The accompaniment DVD includes real-life testimonies from military veterans and naturalized citizens, as well as actual footage of the Iwo Jima flag raising and more. The final song in the book is a bonus “showpiece,” an all-new lyricization of the John Philip Sousa classic “Stars and Stripes Forever” that can be used on its own for patriotic celebrations of any kind. Our Flag Was Still There delivers a stand-up-and-salute performance that reassures your congregation that our flag is still flying, and God is in control.
