Worship Ministry

We worship on sundays @ 9:30 am

SUN ONLINE WORSHIP

The worship ministry at Forest Hills Church exists for worshipers to encounter Christ, be filled with the Spirit, connect with each other, and go to live out the mission that God has prepared for us. That's the theology at the heart of this worship ministry and why we gather each week.

Worship is a journey that we take together. 

If you play an instrument, have a new art form to offer, an idea to share, or want more information on how to participate in the worship life of the church, please contact the Director of Worship Arts or anyone who is already involved in the worship ministry.
WORSHIP shapes us.
It's a celebration of God.
It's an expression of our love and gratitude.
It allows us to reconnect and renew.
It internalizes the story of Christ in us.
It forms our faith."   - W. Zachary Taylor

Fall 2021 ACTIVITIES & rehearsal info

Chancel Choir is coming back soon - we hope!

​Although we hoped to be back singing together right away in September, it is still pretty risky because of the Delta variant's high transmission rate. So, we'll start singing in person when it seems like it is a safe and responsible decision. Keep your eyes peeled for our starting date! In the meantime, we might revisit singing as a virtual choir. EVERYONE is invited to be part of the choir regardless if it is in person or virtual. All skill levels are welcome. Seriously, you should try it out!

Handbell Ensemble rehearses on Thursdays at 6pm in the lower-level Music Room

Handbells are ringing together in-person (masked & appropriately distanced) this season. Ringing handbells is a great way to be involved in the ministry of music at Forest Hills. Do you have music reading skills (maybe played, or still play an instrument)? You are halfway to becoming a ringer.

Worship Band rehearses on Thursdays at 7pm in the Sanctuary

The Worship Band brings a modern musical flair to our worship gatherings. We are always looking for new talent to participate in this group. If playing an instrument or singing contemporary worship is your thing, let's find a place for you in the band!

Looking for a way to help God speak more clearly during worship both in person and online? Or maybe you don't like the spotlight, but still want to help out at church? Our Tech Team could be a place for you. We run live audio, visuals, lighting & streaming. We also occasionally create videos for worship and social media. If you have live sound, media production or broadcasting experience, you would be a particularly great fit for the Tech Team at FHPC!

ENGAGE builds community and gets PreK-12th grade students involved in worship. We've been known to sing songs, play instruments like hand chimes and steel drums, make videos, dance, and learn other worship arts for the Christmas Pageant, Youth Sunday and other worship gatherings throughout the program year. Rehearsals take place on selected Sundays from 10:30-11a.

SPECIAL MUSIC FROM HOME

Social distancing makes it more challenging to sing and play together in groups, obviously. But we can still stay closely connected and offer musical expressions of worship through the gift of technology. If you're interested in submitting a video of worship-appropriate special music that we could use in our worship stream (or learning more), CLICK HERE.
