Like everything else about this Church plant our Worship Team building has been evolutionary and we have depended on God to provide. We started it with a former student from my youth ministry days named David Kerns. David was the prefect guy for me, his raw heart for God and his amazing giftedness on the strings made him a good fit. After all, Boundless Grace was made up of people who desired nothing more than a experience of reality in the area of worship, no gimmickry or pretense would work with us.
Well, over the past year or so God has been faithful to give and take away as he has seen fit. To mention those God has blessed us with thus far: a keyboard player from Chicago (Bob), a high school student on rhythm guitar from Pinole (Mikey), drummers or drum machinist in Brian and Chris, a lead guitarist from Vallejo (John Dywer), a lead vocalist and guitarist from Vacaville in John Canton, and our latest addition, Heather Petree, a master on the keys from Hiddenbrooke. Of course, God has also provided us with many backup vocalist in: Gretchen, Tosha, Karlie, Rich, Samantha, & Aviva.
While I must admit, this area of Church planting has been one of the most challenging, God has been faithful and we are growing in grace in this area as well. The music continues to evolve for God's glory and the team continues to learn how to harmonize relationally.
There is probably nothing the devil hates more in the Church than those who are dedicated to inviting people into God's presence in worship, so please pray right now for our team!
