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.

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!

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 three morning services with three distinct styles of music. 

Our 8:15 Classic service is a more traditional style service using hymns and traditional choruses.

The 9:45 Contemporary service is lead by a worship band, and uses contemporary choruses and some hymns in contemporary settings. 

At 11:15 we have the ConneXion service.  This is more of a guitar driven worship style, and is geared to our youngest demographic.

We are a family church with multiple generations, and our goal is, by providing these choices regarding musical style, that we help more people to really enter in and connect with God during the worship times.  If you would have an interest in being involved in any of our worship teams, please contact Scott or Nancy to schedule an audition.

Technical Teams

There is a group of people that are "behind the scenes" of our services and events,  and without them we would not be able to do what we do.  These are the individuals that make up our sound, lighting, and projection teams.  Experience with computers and other technical production equipment is always a plus, but is not a prerequisite for being part of this team.  If you are looking for a way to get involved in an important area of ministry in the church and you think you would like to give it a try, contact Scott.  

Solo/Ensemble Singing and Drama Ministries

There are soloists, instrumentalists and groups that sing or play in some of our morning services.  There are also groups that will occasionally do skits that would open up for a sermon or advertise an upcoming event, etc.  Call Scott or Nancy to schedule an audition.

Easter

God has blessed Christian Life Center with being known in our community and surrounding areas for producing a Passion Play called "Easter Alive" every year for over 25 years.  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 music, dance and effects.   Open auditions are done in January of each year.  The cast and musicians then begin rehearsing one to three times per week, and will have 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 end of September, leading up to a concert event in December.  Each year the event is a little different, both thematically and in content.  The Christmas choir has also performed for other community events, primarily singing for the Missoula Downtown Association's annual "Lighting of the Christmas Tree", among others.  If you like the fun and fellowship of singing in a large group, you will find the choir as a great place to connect with others and enjoy singing the songs of the season.  You may call the music office to schedule an audition, or just come and join in when the rehearsals get started.
