The Worship Ministry at SHC is made up of four distinct groups: The Praise Choir & Praise Singers, Praise Band, Drama Team and Audio Visual Team. These four teams consist of individuals who embrace a calling by God to use their gifts and talents to lead others in Worship.

Praise Choir and Praise Singers: The Praise Choir is made up of individuals who are high school age and older. The requirement for participating in this group is a desire to glorify God in worship and song, and a co mmitment to serve and rehearse on a weekly basis. This adult choir participates on occasion in Sunday morning services and brings energy and enthusiasm to corporate worship at SHC. They also provide special music for seasonal occasions such as Christmas, East er, July 4^th and others.

Praise Singers are individuals chosen from the choir who are placed on independent mics and bring a distinct quality to the overall sound of worship. Members of this team must audition and are placed on a monthly rotation. Th ey remain members of the choir and rehearse accord ingly. Praise Singers rehearse with the Praise Band every Tuesday at 5:45 PM. Praise Choir rehearses on Tuesday nights during choir sea son at 7:00 PM.

Praise Band: The P raise Band is made up of musicians, high school age and old er, who maintain a desire to use their musical giftedness for God's glory. Our current team is made up of individuals who play the following instruments: Piano-keys, Bass, Guitar, Drums, Trumpet, Soprano Sax, Clarinet and Flute. We are blessed at South Hills to have numerous people who wish to serve in this capacity and thus participants are scheduled on a rotation basis so as to utilize as many skilled musicians as God brings us. Members of this team must audition.

Drama Team: Drama is a vital aspect of Worship at South Hills Church. The drama team is a group of people who are called and used by God to present worship and scriptural truth in a dramatic format. Drama is featured mainly during special Christmas and Easter services. It is occasionally integrated into the morning services to enhance and/or emphasize certain aspects of the morning message. The Drama Team continues to grow and is looking for members who sense God's calling to this unique and exciting ministry.

Audio-Visual Team: The Audio-Visual Team is made up of individuals who enjoy the behind-the- scenes aspect of worship. Team members work in the areas of sound, lighting, video, graphics and design. The main goal of these members is to work together to create services in which the worshipper's attention is drawn towards and focused on God and not to the technical aspects of the production. We have several members on this team who serve on a monthly rotation.

Style of Worship: The style of Worship at South Hills Church is referred to as a "blended style." It is our goal to please God in our worship with music that relates to all generations and backgrounds. From the Hymnal to Contemporary Christian music, the spiritual relevance and the lyrical content is of utmost importance to the planning of worship services.
