Worship Arts

Worship Arts at Grantham Church

The music and worship arts ministries of Grantham Church exist to bring honor and glory to God. We believe God has provided the way for a relationship with Him through the sacrifice of his son, Jesus. We celebrate and thank God in a variety of ways.

We use music, arts, song, prayer, silence, communion, testimony, drama, Scripture, and the words of those around us to glorify and honor God. We believe that we become like what we worship. And we believe that as we encounter the transforming presence of God in corporate worship, we are then sent out to carry His reconciling presence into our world.
