Our Purpose, Passion, and Vision

What does LG2 mean?  It stands for LET GO and LET GOD!  That is our ultimate goal in the Worship and Creative Arts Ministry.  We want to let go of our ideals and agendas and let God use us for His glory.  We don't want to come with the mindset of "Bless me, Lord."  Instead, we want to come singing, "I will bless the Lord at ALL times!"  We believe in worshipping the Lord with all we have to give.  We desire to bless Jesus Christ in everything we do and say.  That is a true lifestyle of worship.

Our Purpose
It is a high calling to be chosen to serve as leaders of worship and praise to God. The scriptural precedent for instrumental and choral (vocal) worship is found in I Chronicles 15:16 and 25:7, where it says, “skilled musicians for the Lord, numbering 288,” as well as “singers” were established for the purpose of standing before the Ark of the Covenant (the manifest presence of God) to lead the people into praise. Our services, productions, special events and all that we do stem from the root of praise and worship. As we cultivate lifestyle worship and keep the focus on the Lord in every aspect of our ministry, then God can use us as vehicles to break the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61) and the purpose of winning souls is accomplished.
 
In the Old Testament, the Levitical priests that were involved in music ministry gave their full lives and energies to that calling, assembling great festivals of praise, with mass choirs and orchestras. This is our role model for today. The Choir and band ministry endeavors to praise and glorify Jesus Christ in every way. This ministry sets the atmosphere for the worship service, guides and cooperates with the congregation in musical expression, and joins with the pastors and leaders in making a significant and moving worship experience for many people each week. It is also our desire to encourage the spiritual growth of each individual involved in
ministry.
 
Our Goals
  1. To develop a mighty choir and band/orchestra and drama/arts ministry to present anointed and powerful music and lead the congregation in high praises for every service. We view each service as a “Super Bowl” service, recognizing that the weekend services are the corporate celebrations of what God has done all week long in our individual lives.
  2. To cultivate and encourage lifestyle worship, recognizing that Sundays are not the only days we worship God.
  3. To develop drama teams, and involve choirs and orchestras to produce at least three major musical productions each year, (Easter, July 4th, and Christmas) providing an opportunity for the community to hear the gospel.
  4. To periodically present a Praise Celebration, incorporating musical teams, praise and worship, band and choir.
  5. To grow spiritually, numerically, creatively, and musically while NEVER becoming complacent with the status quo. 

An effective member of the music ministry is:

  1. Someone who is a faithful member to rehearsals, services, special pageants and productions, (even when not scheduled on worship team or for solos). They are consistent.
  2. Someone who doesn't judge or condemn those who violate point number one, because one doesn’t always know the circumstances regarding another’s particular situation, (i.e. work, illness, outside ministry, etc.) Someone who understands the parable of the workers in the field and how all received equal reward, though different levels of commitment were expressed.
  3. Someone who possesses a humble and teachable spirit, and a servant's heart. 
  4. Someone who honors and respects the mantle of those in authority, submitting to them knowing that they are accountable to God.
  5. Someone who seeks after pure praise and worship.
  6. Someone who doesn't compare themselves to others or is discontent with what God has given them.
  7. Someone who is prepared, practiced, and confident.
  8. Someone who is a worshipper..."you can't take people to where you haven't been."
  9. Someone who possesses some degree of musical ability and a desire to strengthen and grow that ability.
  10. Someone who expresses outwardly what God has done inwardly.
  11. Someone who prefers others as better that himself.
  12. Someone who is faithful in prayer.
  13. Someone who wants to be involved, not because they are a musician, but because they are a consecrated musician— a musician whose main aspiration is ministry to the Lord.
We are very passionate about God and our church.  We believe in having and cultivating a Spirit of Excellence in what we do for the Lord.  It is our mission to use our God given creativity to bring honor to Jesus Christ and to inspire others to celebrate life through worshipping in Spirit and in Truth.  We believe this mission calls for an anointed and servant-minded team.  We must first let go of the life we have planned in order to accept the life our Heavenly Father has waiting for us.  We would love for you to become a part of our ministry team.  Come be a part of LG2 Worship and Creative Arts Ministry, as we, together, let go and let God!
