Worship and Arts

Our Ministry verse is Colossians 3:16..."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." It is the mission of the Worship/Tech Ministry, and our passion, to enable the congregation to worship and praise God in spirit and truth, bring encouragement, comfort, exhortation and instruction to the Body, provide a sense of community within the ministry itself, and present the Good News of the Gospel to Kitsap County and beyond.
