(Zephaniah 3:17 paraphrased) The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing [he will spin round in a violent motion with gladness, shouting and triumph]!  

PRAISE & WORSHIP MUSIC MINISTRY
 We’ve heard a church likened to a three legged stool. Each leg represents either the music, the message or the administration. If one of these is faulty, the stool cannot stand. We can help you take your music leg to the next level. If your services could use a musical jolt, if there’s a perceived gap between the congregation and platform, or if you’re in need of God’s love, joy and freedom,
Look no further!
