To create worship sets and lead the congregation in a new style of worship: a more intimate, personal worship, using voice and instruments. We listen to loads of new music to expand our repertoire, e.g. Hillsong, Songs of Fellowship, Spring Harvest. We are always on the lookout for new band members, particularly guitarists and bassists.
