The purpose of the Rock Church Worship Arts Ministry is to consistently create an environment of excellent, Christ-centered worship through a variety of weekly artistic offerings, resulting in a life-changing experience with God that far reaches into the daily ministry life of the Rock Church, as well as the personal worship life of the Rock Church member.

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Psalm 100:1

Getting Involved:

The goal of the Worship Arts Ministry is to inspire and train Rock Church attendees, whom God has called into music ministry, to pursue excellence in performance with an attitude of humility, purity, sensitivity and strength. This being the case, our priority is mentoring and encouraging musicians who consider the Rock Church their home.

Vocalists:

Vocalists who are interested in singing at the Rock are given priority if they participate in “Resonate,” the Rock Church choir. Auditions are held once a year, in February. If you would like to audition for “Resonate,” keep an eye on the bulletin in January/February for information regarding the next round of auditions. In the meantime, please continue to attend our Sunday services, commit to the Rock as your church home, and connect with God and other musicians at our Tuesday weekly worship service, Simply Worship, in Room 232, 7 pm.

Also, please note that if you are invited to audition, a Background Check Release form will be emailed to you. Successful completion of a background check is required for participation in “Resonate.”

Auditions

Our next scheduled audition will be early 2012. Do you want to “Do Something” with your gifts and talents? If you have the gift of worship and are ready to make a commitment we invite you to review the Choir Commitment Form. This form details the responsibilities associated with Resonate Choir, including time commitment, rehearsal schedule, tardiness, personal spiritual commitment, and our alcohol policy, among other important expectations we have of those who wish to serve the Lord, and our congregation, through the Worship Arts Ministry. Once you have prayerfully considered your commitment and agree to the guidelines you may submit your online choir application.
