WORSHIP AT ARCC

First and foremost biblically based worship is a fluid response to God for who He is and what He does and can do in our lives. Whether you are a follower of Jesus who is responding to who Jesus is and what He does in your life, or you are a seeker searching for a closer connection with your Creator, being in the presence of God will change your spiritual DNA. The follower of Christ can walk away uplifted, encouraged, and energized, having intimately encountered their Lord. The seeker can walk away asking, "was that the presence of God? I experienced something…I want to know more..."

ARCC offers two styles of worship - Contemporary and a more classic, or traditional style of worship service. We believe worship is a lifestyle and encourage our church community to worship not only on Sundays, but throughout the week.

Contemporary Gathering (Sunday 9:30 a.m.) A relaxed and fresh approach to revealing God's truth, and responding freely to Him in worship. Music is contemporary/postmodern with a praise and worship band. Feel free to bring your coffee and your friends.
a
Classic or Traditional Gathering (Sunday 11:00 a.m.) A more traditional, or rather classic approach to worship and the preaching of God's word. Music is a blend of favorite hymns and classic praise and worship songs accompanied by piano and organ. By the way… you can still bring your friends.

WORSHIP TEAMS
Praise Band
 
The goal of the Praise Band is to help create "worshipful moments" for the congregation. These "moments" allow both the Praise Band and the body to truly feel the presence of God, energizing worship during, and beyond the Sunday service. The band includes vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, piano and other instruments as needed. The band plays in the contemporary service and rehearses Thursday evenings. (You can listen to selected music by clicking the song links in the "Worship Samples" menu of this page.)
Celebration Choir
  The Sanctuary Choir is tasked not only with singing choral openings and anthems, but also in leading worship. This allows the body of believers to experience and serve in more traditional church environment. The choir participates in the traditional or classic worship service.
Drama and Theater Arts
  Though we do not have a continuously active drama team, when the need arises, we are blessed to have talented individuals who will rise to the occasion to provide high quality drama and theatrics. This group is used in both worship and special events.
Media Arts (Sound and Video)
  Consistently providing the congregation with high quality sound and media support, this team works to enhance worship services, rehearsals and special events both visually and audibly. They work hard to produce quality representations of the "happenings" at ARCC.
Visual and Graphic Arts
  This ministry includes: PowerPoint slides, worship folders and inserts, posters, flyers, mailers, church environment enhancement and special event visuals, and much more. This team of gifted individuals enhances our experience in worship and in our church as a whole
