Worship & Music Ministries
Welcome to the Grace Community Church Magnification Ministry! The many leaders and participants of this ministry wish to express our sincere appreciation for your interest and hopeful participation. God’s desire (and ours) is to see you grow in your ministry and in your Christian walk. There is a place for you in the Music & Worship Ministry here at GCC!
Whether you sing, play an instrument or enjoy the technical side of a church service, you'll find a multitude of opportunities to use your gifts for the Lord at Grace Community Church. From mission trips to music camps and major musical productions, we have creatively developed ways of encouraging you and your children to strengthen your musical and worship leadership skills.
WORSHIP CHOIR
Every August, January and prior to Easter and Christmas, the Worship Choir invites new members to join. This is done by filling out a brief registration form and visiting with the music director. If the person wishing to join choir has little or no musical experience or knowledge, recommendations will be made based on what is best for that individual and the choir as a whole.
The Grace Worship Choir meets from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. every Wednesday during the school year. Childcare is available during rehearsals. Fall semester calendar is from August through Christmas and the Winter/Spring calendar is from January through Easter. Breaks in the choir calendar agree with the school calendar;(i.e., holidays, Spring Break, summer, ect.). In addition to leading the congregation in music at least once a month, Grace Choir presents special music for Easter and Christmas. Addtional activities of the Music Ministry include fundraisers such as Fabulous February Follies (an evening that highlights some of our favorite songs and a little of "this, that and the other" thrown in for fun!), which showcases a great evening full of fellowship, food, door prizes and music! And a yearly choir yard sale in the Spring. Donations are accepted and appreciated!
WORSHIP TEAM/PRAISE BAND
We stand before the congregation locking arms to come both humbly and boldly into God's presence, realizing that every word honors Jesus. When we sing, it is not to impress, but to inspire and change hearts. Our joint audience is God Himself. We sing contemporary, traditional, gospel, and classical music. We understand our calling and are passionate about fulfilling it!
The Music and Worship Ministry at Grace offers vocal, instrumental and technical opportunities for high-school youth and adults. Our purpose is to utilize our God-given talents to promote the Word of God in a unique, creative and inspiring manner. If interested in joining this ministry please see the music director. The Worship Ministry schedule begins in the Fall and is divided into four sessions (a 3 month commitment or more) :
Fall August through October
Winter November through January
Spring February through April
Summer May though July
MEDIA MINISTRY
The Media Ministry supports the worship services at Grace by providing video and audio aids. For the person interested in the "techie" side of ministry, this is an ideal place in which to serve. Contact Jason Prince @ 575-623-5438, jprince@4grace.org
DISCOVERY CLASSES
The Discovery Classes (101, 201, 301, 401, 501) are very important at Grace, especially for people who serve in the music ministry. Pastor Rick developed this series not only to help church in growth and ministry, but also to help individuals: 1) learn how they fit into the body of Christ; and 2) discover how they are gifted not only for music ministry, but for other areas as well. To serve on a rotating basis as a worship team member you must be a “Discovering Membership” (Class 101) graduate. Individuals who serve in the music ministry are strongly urged to finish all five Discovery Classes as soon as possible. Doing so benefits each person as well as the church as a whole.
Thank you again for your interest and participation. The Grace Music Ministry looks forward to serving the Lord together with you until Jesus returns. May God bless you for your willingness to obey Him and give of yourself in this ministry.
