Worship: A Corporate Expression of our Faith
Vision
We at the First AG cherish the moments we spent together as a family of Faith in His presence not just to enjoy but to give Him the glory due to His name. The worship ministry team ushers the body of Christ into the throne room of God through thanksgiving, praise, worship and instruments of music and experience His manifest presence and ministry of His Spirit as the Church ministers unto Him.
Worship is a time when the soul is exposed to the divine radiations of the Spirit of God, therapeutic in nature, restoring the mind and the body. As we raise His Praise we realize the works of the enemy is paralyzed and the Lord glorified. Worship at First AG is mission focused as “He put a new song in my heart, a hymn of praise unto our God, many will see and fear and PUT their TRUST in the LORD”
Our Commitment
We are committed to being spiritually prepared to minister: “Make your calling and election sure” 2 Peter 1:10 while the worship department may not be a full time occupation, the team is made up of servants who have a sense of calling to this ministry. We are all ministers and as such are held to a greater degree of responsibility.
We are committed to carry the vision and mission of the Church and the leadership: Our responsibility is to deliberately guard this vision and be Sprit-filled ministers standing along side the leadership in building the kingdom of God. Matt 6:33
