The Worship Arts Ministries of
Rogers First is a place where people bring to the service of God and the community of faith their music, drama, and all forms of art. As God gives the gifts of talent, we seek to develop and use them for the praise and adoration of God.
Worship is one of our core value. Keeping this core value alive and fruitful involves many men, women, and children who give of themselves weekly to rehearse, train, in order to prepare for leading our worship experience.
The invitation is always open for those who have gifts and talents in the following areas:
Vocal | Instrumental | Art & Drama | Productions | Technology

Art, in countless forms, finds its way into nearly every facet of our worship experience. Our major productions, considered outreach ministries to the community, use artists of various skills to provide needed artistic embellishments.
