Music and Worship

Adult Choir

Director: Kevin Wilson

Rehearsal Time: Wednesdays from 7:00 – 8:15 p.m.

    This choir is part of the overall worship team at each Sunday morning worship service. They help lead all praise and worship music as well as present special music each week. Rehearsals are held each Wednesday night to prepare upcoming Sunday choir specials as well as future Christmas and Easter events. The only requirements for this group are that you should love singing, and can be in regular attendance as much as possible.

Praise Team and Praise Band

Director: Kevin Wilson

Rehearsal Time: Wednesdays from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.

    The Praise Band and Praise Team meet together each Wednesday night to rehearse all praise and worship music for upcoming worship services. The Praise Band is a small group, but we do need subs and perhaps new permanent members as instrumentation needs arise. The band currently consists of guitars, bass guitar, piano, drums and occasional keyboards. The Praise Team is a group of very committed singers that are available for rehearsals each week. All singers rehearse each Wednesday, but sing on a rotation basis for each Sunday. If you have an interest in this area, please contact the church office or see Kevin Wilson.

Orchestra

Director: Kevin Wilson

Rehearsal Time: Sunday mornings 9:00 – 9:30 a.m.

    Although not a “full orchestra”, this is a group of brass and woodwind players that play with the worship team on the first and third Sundays of each month. We are currently providing music for Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, and Baritone. We are always looking for more players, so if you would like to get involved, please contact Kevin Wilson through the church office (937-854-6300) or see him at church. Players should be comfortable playing at the high school level.

S.A.L.T (Sound and Lighting Team)

    This is the production team that runs all technical aspects of our Sunday morning and evening services. Team members a capable of running the lighting, sound, projection software, as well as the video recording equipment. This team helps create a more seamless worship service through appropriate sound production, lighting cues, and video projections. If you would like to be a part of this team, please contact the church office or see Kevin Wilson or Rich Hicks.

Master Design

Directed by Jon Hall and Jeni Hoberty

Rehearsal Time: Sunday nights from 5:30 – 6:15 p.m.

    This is our youth praise and worship team for students in grades 7 – 12. They rehearse each week to prepare a variety of worship service presentations ranging from youth soloists, dramatic skits, interpretive drama, and vocal ensembles. In many cases this is a group that provided young people their first opportunities to create presentations in front of a congregation. The best way to get involved with this group is to visit one of the rehearsals and talk with the directors.

Sonshine Company

Rehearsal Time: Sunday nights from 4:30 – 6:15 p.m.

This is a great opportunity for children to learn about music and worship and gives them opportunities to develop their voices and music skills.
