Praise Team
Young People's Department
Praise Team
The current Praise Team came together in 2014. The team is comprised of a group of committed Christians with a desire to worship and praise God.
It is our prayer and our hearts desire that everyone who is ministered to will be encouraged to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior. We pray that those whom the Lord touches through this ministry will let Jesus Christ in their hearts and be drawn closer to him.
We are a group of committed Christians saved by grace, who love to Praise and Worship God and minister to His people. We believe that sharing our gifts is an act of stewardship, so we rejoice at every opportunity to serve God in this capacity and give Him honor and glory.
We specialize in a variety of gospel music styles and take seriously the mandate to spread the gospel and as such we have ministered at concerts and special functions throughout the Island and overseas.
This ministry is not just about leading worship for the congregation, but to elevate the spiritual life of the people of God through our celebration of the goodness of our God in our lives and the life of our community.
