“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

Worship Teams

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.

Worship Choir

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.

Solo/Ensemble Singing and Drama Ministries

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. 

Easter

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.
