Rooted in biblical principles, The Praise Group invites you to experience the transformative power of authentic worship. Its mission: to guide the congregation to encounter God’s presence, fostering intimacy with Him and preparing hearts to receive His Word.
Join us as we explore the goals, structure, and responsibilities of this dedicated team, a vital part of our church community, where voices unite in praise and service to God.
01. Worship
Justification

And it is through this means that we can achieve an intimate communion with the Lord, and through the practice of prayer, we gain sensitivity to the Holy Spirit of God in our meetings.
- The need for this service in the body of Christ is great, because it plays an important role. The men and women who are called as priests to serve in this area of ministry edify the saints for development and perfection in the church of Christ.
