CELEBRATION WORSHIP CHOIR 

Celebration Choir leads in worship every Sunday morning in our 9:30 Service.

This group is made up of volunteers who have a heart to serve, love the Lord, and are committed to using their talents to lift up the name of Jesus in worship and at CAROLS each Christmas.

Choir Rehearsals are Wednesday nights 6:45-8:15pm in Worship East.

Wednesdays are full of energy and excitement as we prepare both spiritually and musically to be our best! Andy often says that Choir & Orchestra is More than Music – We are Family.

If you have a passion for worship and a desire to help lead the church in praise, there is a place for you in the Choir.

ORCHESTRA

The Celebration Orchestra, directed by Kent Tidwell, is a talented group of instrumentalists that share their musical gifts, along with our choir, to lead our church in worship.

Rehearsals are Wednesday nights at 7pm in the Worship Center.

Go to the Save it for the Sermon Shop located in the lobby.  Once there a member of our Children’s team will walk you through the easy check-in process.

Each child will receive a sticker with their name, classroom  and unique security code.  The adult checking in will receive a sticker with the matching code for a safe and convenient pick up.

Our classrooms are divided by age and our ratio of leaders to children is 1:5.  There are at least two leaders in a classroom, and each leader is trained, background checked and looks forward to serving on Sunday mornings!

What is the SAVE IT FOR THE SERMON SHOP?

This shop full of fun, free items will be located in the Lobby for children 6th grade and younger. Before the 9:30 services, children can “shop” for 4 items that will help keep them engaged during the sermon. The items will be put in a special bag and should stay in the bag until the sermon begins. Once the service is over, return unused or reusable items to the shop.

Will I need to pre-register my child(ren) for childcare or Sunday School?

Registration is not required, however, we will be using a new check-in system for the safety and security of your child(ren). Text “CHECKIN to 972-235-5296 to begin the check-in process on Sunday mornings.

How will I know where my child should go?

During the mobile check-in process, you will have the option to print check-in stickers at the nursery, the Children’s Building, or the shop in the Lobby. You will find their sticker at the printer you choose, and the classroom location will be printed on their sticker. Greeters are available to help you find your sticker and make sure you take your child to the right spot!

Are masks required?

Masks are not required.

What happened to Kids Worship?

The plan for the foreseeable future is to offer quarterly Family Worship experiences and weekly online worship for kids. Kids Worship on Sunday morning does not fit into our current schedule of one worship hour and one Sunday School hour.

Sooo my kids have to go to worship with me?

Yes, we want your kids to join the adults in worship! We know this presents its challenges, but we also believe it produces good things in your kids and is valuable for the entire church. We want your child to feel like they are a part of our whole church and to be known by those in our church family that are 10, 30 and 50 years older than them. We want your child to see adults pursuing Jesus through worship and believe it’s a great thing for adults to be around your incredible kids.  There’s a story where Jesus welcomes children into His presence. We are intentionally planning our worship and our sermons to welcome and include your child. You’ll notice special kids moments in the worship service, and we will equip and encourage your child to enjoy worship through our Save it for the Sermon Shop. Give it a try, be persistent, and let us know how we can help!
