From our simple beginnings (two singers and a guitar player) to where we are today, we have been and will remain focused on one thing…seeking Christ in our worship!  As worship leaders, we know people are at varying levels in their relationship with Christ.  We also know some will enter the doors that don’t know Him.  There is, however, a fundamental truth we want everyone to understand.  God desires for each of us to have a deeply personal relationship with His son, Jesus Christ.

Worship at Graceland is prayerfully planned for each service to create an atmosphere for everyone to feel comfortable.  We do not want to push people or force them to worship in a way that makes them uncomfortable.  We do, however, want people to grow in their individual worship and in the church setting as they get more comfortable.  The foundation for praise and worship song selections is based on biblical, spiritual truths.  Praise songs are chosen to glorify Jesus Christ as Savior, to our community and to our world.  Worship songs are “vertical” in nature to allow each individual to have an personal encounter with Christ.  At times we will play popular radio music, as the themes of the songs are relevant to the messages being delivered by our Campus Pastor – Eric Helms.  It is easy to get caught up with the question, “What kind of music do you do?”   To me the answer is quite simple, the kind that allows people to encounter Jesus Christ!  We generally play in a more “rock style” being very guitar led.  We also adapt older songs and hymns to our style of course!

We are looking for people who are interested in serving Christ, by serving the community as a part of this church and by using their musical gifts.   First and foremost, one MUST have a passion for worship and for bringing God – and only God – all the glory.   Musicians and vocalists are expected to give their best effort in individual practice, team practice and in worship services.   An audition is required by appointment only. Weekly rehearsals are also required.
