MUSIC AND ARTS MINISTRY
SINGING, DANCE, DRAMA, CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA
Flowing in the Spirit, Ensuring the Presence of God is Felt, and that Faith Fellowship is a House of Worship.
The sanctuary is filled. Some people are standing with their hands raised, while others are kneeling with their heads bowed. The choir fills the loft; the band and orchestra sit quietly with instruments in hand. Dancers flank the stage motionless and the singers stand in reverence with their microphones by their sides. The place is completely silent. In the same service, the altar is filled with dancing congregants, the dance team waves banners from the balcony, the choir sings joyously and the band is at full force as crowd shouts “Hallelujah!” Why the two extremes? Because the worship leaders obey the Spirit of God. When He wants stillness, they lead congregation in silent reverence. When He wants celebration, they lead the church in jubilant praise.

Our Mission:
To flow in the Spirit, ensuring the presence of God is felt, and that Faith Fellowship is a house of worship.
It doesn’t take a band, choir or dancers to lead people into the presence of God; it just takes a worship leader sensitive to the Spirit. Faith Fellowship has had that from the beginning with its first worship leader…Pastor David T. Demola.
With accordion in hand, Pastor led worship in addition to preaching the Word and receiving the offering. However, Pastor couldn’t do it all. So God sent help, and the first position filled in the new ministry was the worship leader, which was Rich Gomez. As Rich grew in his understanding of worship and God’s presence, the ministry grew. Soon God brought in gifted musicians and singers who grew in their anointing and flowed in unity of the Spirit.
The Music and Arts ministry have produced and performed several special cantatas and musicals, including an original production called Another Christmas Carol, a Christian adaptation of the popular Charles Dickens play. Recently, the Dance ministry performed Deliver Us, an original choreographed production depicting the life of Moses with music from The Prince of Egypt.
The Music and Arts ministry continues to go to the next level, from faith to faith and glory to glory, all while staying sensitive to the Spirit of God in stillness or in celebration.
The Music and Arts ministry conducts worship at all services, performs special holiday presentations, and oversees all matters pertaining to music, praise, and worship in the church. Oversees the choir and orchestra.
