Worship Team: With reverent love & devotion we worship God with all our heart, soul, mind & strength because He Is Worth It!!
Our purpose is to help our community to enter in to times of corporate and personal worship to the Lord in song, declaring that He is the King of Kings. We also come to serve the community by teaching and encouraging one another to praise the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind & strength and to understand that worship is what we are created for.
"You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" (1 Peter 2:9)

Christina Harrup
Assistant Worship Leader
Vocals, Keys
Tom Ski
Vocals, Bass
Tom first started playing music through the accordion after picking it up at his father’s request. To offset the need to explore more, Tom used his experience with the accordion to make music out of his brother’s guitar. Soon enough he was playing gigs at local pubs and venue’s through the 70s. Tom was soon saved through his wife Barbara who would sing Christmas carols in July as a way to bring Christian music into the household. They now have six grown children.
Rob Gonzalez
Drums
Rob started playing his brother's drums for fun at 15 years old. In 1981 he was asked to fill in for his church's drummer, and he nervously agreed. Unrehearsed and unprepared, he filled in and played publicly for the first time. Suddenly he realized the Lord was guiding him to minister as a Worship and Praise drummer. He has since played with various Worship and Praise teams throughout the years. Rob says "To be able to Worship and Praise the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is the ultimate priviledge that we as human beings have on this Earth." He and his wife Madeline have three children: Christine, Lisa, and Robbie.
