The Worship Ministries of Discovery Christian Church
Worship at Discovery Christian Church is our number one priority. When Jesus was asked "what is the greatest commandment?" He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment" (Matthew 22:37-38) Worship is not just about great songs or great musicianship - in fact it is not just about what happens on Sunday mornings. Worship is about you, your heart and your relationship with God. At Discovery we believe worship is the church's greatest privilege and most serious responsibility. We are committed to providing a quality worship ministry program so we might draw people to God and enhance spiritual maturity. We desire that worship at Discovery not be a "spectator sport", but involve a great deal of congregational involvement.
Get Involved
There are a variety of ways you can involve yourself in this ministry (see below). says, "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others." Our hope at Discovery is that you will use your God given gifts to minister to others, and most importantly to exalt the Lord!
Worship Teams
Worship teams play an important role in leading worship at Discovery. Not only do they lead in worship on a weekly basis, they also provide special music at the services. Rehearsals are held weekly to prepare for the Sunday worship services. There are several teams that rotate on a bi-weekly basis.
- The Worship Band
The worship band is a vital part of worship services at Discovery Christian Church. The Band rehearses weekly with the worship team vocalists to prepare for Sunday services. Competent instrumentalists are always needed to play in the band as well as in other instrumental ensembles and as soloists.
- Sound Ministry
There is much behind the scenes work that goes into every service or special event at Discovery. Help is needed in operating the sound and multimedia systems each week. We are always interested in anyone with experience in sound production. If you have an interest in this ministry area but do not have experience, training can be provided.
- Multimedia Ministry
Power point and video production is a big part of each of our services at Discovery. If you have experience in videography, editing, computer production or power point we can use your expertise! This is an expanding ministry and we'd love to add you to our team.
- S.W.A.T. Team
Because Discovery is a portable church we set up and tear down all of our equipment each Sunday. Thus our Set-up, Worship, And Tear-down Team is a vital part of all we do each week. The SWAT Team is a volunteer group of people that show up early and stay late to help prepare the children's Discovery Zone, the Lobby, and the Worship Center for our services. We have two complete teams that serve every other week and we are always looking for willing hands to help out! This is a great way to get to know people and learn more about the different ministries at Discovery!
- Ushering / Serving Ministry
The ushers/servers at Discovery are a vital part of our worship times each week. Usher/servers help with both the communion and offering times and assist in helping people feel comfortable and at home in our services. Serving in this ministry is on a weekly basis and loving people is the most vital prerequisite!
- Greeters Ministry
The greeters at Discovery are the first smiling faces you will see when coming to our services. Greeters stand both outside and in the lobby to offer a smile and a warm handshake to everyone as they enter. If you enjoy meeting new people and love to welcome them to our times of worship we'd love to have you serve in this ministry!
