Worship Ministry

We STREAM 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

SPRING 2021 ACTIVITIES & rehearsal info


Picture
Virtual Choir rehearsals are on selected Sundays and are powered by Zoom.

​Since we're not sure when we'll gather in person again (and even when we do, it might take a while to get back to singing together), we're going to try being a choir virtually! EVERYONE is invited to be part of the virtual choir, even if you are not usually part of this group. Tech training and tips will be available, and all skill levels are welcome. Seriously, you should try it out!

​CONTACT ZACH FOR MORE INFO & REHEARSAL TIMES

​Handbell Ensemble rehearses on selected Wednesdays at 7pm in the Sanctuary.

When we are at Phase 2 or higher in the COVID response plan, Handbells are ringing together in-person (masked & appropriately distanced) this season. Until we return to live worship gatherings at church, we'll be recording some pieces during rehearsals that will be used in our online worship services. This is a fun (and the safest) way to participate in the music ministry during the pandemic.

Worship Band has gone remote.

The Worship Band has not disbanded, we're just banding from home for now. On most weeks, the band records parts for one worship song and submits those tracks. Vocalists have been also helping with ​hymns and congregational readings for online worship. If you're interested in being part of the band (and have recording ability from home), there may still be a place for you in the band!

Looking for a way to help God speak more clearly during worship? Or maybe you don't like the spotlight, but still want to help out? Our Tech Team could be a place for you. While we usually run live audio, visuals, lighting & streaming, we're more focused on video creation and editing during the pandemic. If you have media production experience or creative ideas for segments that could enhance our online worship services, you would be a particularly great fit for the Tech Team in this season.

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. During this season, ENGAGE will be meeting online and working on creative ways of contributing to our online worship services.

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 in the worship and music ministry at church.  We can still offer sincere and authentic expressions of worship. 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.
