| MUSIC MINISTRIES
“If I be lifted up, I will
draw all men unto Me”
The ministries in music and the
arts at Christian Life Center revolve around one main
purpose…Magnification of God. Psalm 34:3 says, “O Magnify the
Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” As we “exalt
His name together” using the vehicle of music and the arts, we
experience His presence as stated in Matthew 18:20. Our desire
is to see people realize the life changing power that comes from
those times in God’s presence, and to use their gifts in the
arts to glorify Him. We want everything we do to give God glory,
and to exalt and honor His Name!
Areas Of Ministry
One of the things that makes Christian Life
Center a great place to worship is that the leadership and those
involved in music ministry have a heart and vision to see the
consistent presence of God in the worship services.
We have two morning services with two distinct styles of
musical worship. Our 8:45am service is a traditional service
using more Hymns and traditional choruses, while our 10:30am
service is contemporary in its musical style. We are a family
church with multiple generations, and our goal is that, by
providing these choices regarding musical style, that we help
more people to really enter in and connect with God during the
worship times.
The worship choir is an important
part of the music program at Christian Life Center.
This group sings
in the 10:30am contemporary service, taking breaks during our
production times, and leads in worship along with our worship
teams. Another aspect of the worship choir is that it
really functions as a small group ministry within the body, and
is a place where you are a valued and important part.
There are soloists and groups that sing in some of our morning
services, as well as occasional skits that would open up for a
sermon or advertise an upcoming event, etc. Our drama ministry
would also extend to the Easter and Christmas productions.
Seasonal
Productions.
Christian Life
Center has been a church with a wonderful group of musicians and
drama people who value doing productions for our church body and
community. We do a Christmas concert event and a full scale
passion play in the spring.
God has
blessed Christian Life Center with a good reputation in our
community and surrounding areas for producing a wonderful
Passion Play called "Easter Alive". "Easter Alive" is a
full scale live dramatic musical production that usually
includes a cast of around 100 people, an original dramatic
script that changes each year, live singing, dance and effects.
Casting calls begin in January with auditions for speaking
parts, solo’s and ensemble singing. The cast and musicians
begin rehearsing one to three times per week and this all
culminates in several performances over the Palm Sunday and
Easter weekends, with an average attendance of 5000 to 7000.

Christmas
We have
seasonal choir rehearsals that usually start the first of
October, leading up to a concert event in December, as well as
singing for outside community events.
