Worship Arts

Mission Statement
Sensing God’s call to develop a lifestyle of praise and worship, the Worship Arts Ministry of Woodside Bible Church faithfully desires to magnify Christ by offering believers avenues of lay ministry in leading worship, discipleship, and evangelization through the arts.

Purpose
To bring the people of God into the presence of God for the pleasure of God to experience the power of God and to accomplish the purpose of God.

What We’re All About

Thanks for your interest in Woodside’s Worship Arts Ministry. Worship services at Woodside are just that…Worship! Our audience is God and we aim to build a place where He can reside with pleasure and work in the hearts of people as we respond to His presence. Worship Arts Team Members see themselves as worship leaders and ministers, not performers. They do not desire to draw attention to themselves or even the art form they are using, but to usher people to the throne of God by offering and modeling authentic worship. As worship leaders, they desire to offer a sacrifice of praise that is worthy of our great God with excellence, joy, and reverence. Therefore, they take their ministry seriously and strive to come before the congregation and the Lord with clean hands and a pure heart.
