Worship Ministry
An effective worship ministry, aided and led by the Holy Spirit, "skillfully combines biblical truth with music to magnify the worth of God and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, thereby motivating the gathered church to join...in proclaiming and cherishing the truth about God and seeking to live all of life for the glory of God." - Bob Kauflin
 
Magnifying Christ with Biblical Truth

God's Word by its very nature magnifies the person and worth of Jesus Christ.  Therefore, the worship ministry of Crystal Valley Baptist Church aims to center its efforts of magnifying the Lord foundationally upon Holy Scripture.  "Whoever has my [Word] and keeps [it], he it is who loves me...and [I will] manifest myself to him" (John 14:21).  Biblical preaching, Scripture Readings, and Gospel-centered lyrics help constitute our priorities in worship.

 

Magnifying Christ with Music

Though "professional" music-making is NOT the requisite for magnifying Christ, Crystal Valley Baptist Church does aim to cultivate an atmosphere where the "first fruits" of our skills and talents are offered to the Lord.  It is our vision to combine still further the gifts of instrument and voice for the purpose of blessing God with music that reflects our reverence to Him, our passion for Him, and our devotion to please Him.
