The purpose of our Magnification Team is to bring us
all into times of worship of the Lord we serve. With a focus on the
various worship teams in our church, this team serves all of us as they
develop ways for us to come into a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ. The dove is this team’s icon and serves as a reminder of the
Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus at his baptism… as a reminder of John
the Baptist’s words “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove.”
Magnification Team ministries include all our
choirs, the Contemporary Worship Team, prayer chains, ushers, communion
stewards and the Altar Guild.
