Worship Arts Ministry

Worship is our response to all that God is with all that we are. 

The Worship Arts Ministry's goals are to GIVE our everything to The Lord as our sacrifice of praise (Hebrews 13:15)

and lay it at His feet because He is Worthy! And we strive to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24), 

while remaining true to Biblical standards of corporate worship.


In Heaven, all generations will be singing praises together therefore we have an all-generations approach to worship,

singing both contemporary charts as well as traditional and heritage hymns as we lead people into the Throne Room of God.


We are a Non-Charismatic church affiliated with the Church of God Anderson, IN


There are many ways to get involved in worship arts at E1COG! If you are interested in getting plugged in and using your talents, fill out the interest form under "Connect - Sign Up Here".  


"Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name."
Hebrews 13:15 ESV

No previous choral experience or ability to read music is required.


WORSHIP BAND:

Our Worship Band rehearses from 8:15-9pm on Wednesdays during the school year and 7-8pm in the summer. We consist of vocalists, who must also sing in the Worship Choir, and instrumentalists. This team includes instruments like piano, acoustic and electric guitar, drums, bass, and sometimes band/orchestral instruments. No formal audition. Just come and jam with us for a few rehearsals so we can get to know each other. Those interested can see Matthew Duffie to get started..


SOUND & MEDIA TEAM:

Tech team members should have a teachable spirit and be willing to do their part to help paint the overall picture of our worship gatherings. They also have a passion and skill for working with computers and technical equipment and/or the willingness to try and to learn. It's not as scary as it seems! 


DRAMA TEAM:

Drama Teams meet as scheduled, serving throughout the year including the Christmas Musical. Members may also be asked throughout the year to help with dramatic readings such as scripture or poetry.


OTHER ARTS:

We strive to reflect the creativity of our Creator and are always looking for dynamic and fresh ways to lead our congregation in worship and convey the Gospel. If you have other creative gifts like visual art or graphic design, video production, or dance, let's talk and see how we can use your gifts in worship! 

 "But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

John 4:23-24 ESV
