The Music and Fine Arts Ministry

Music is a major part of the worship experience at Cool Spring, and Cool Spring is blessed with exceptional musical talent.  Glen Bohannan is the Minister of Music and Worship at Cool Spring.

     During the 8:30, 10:00, and 11:15 Sunday morning worship services, music plays a central role. Through music we give thanks to God and offer praise. Music helps to prepare us for the worship service, focusing our thoughts and attention on Jesus Christ and the message to be offered by Senior Pastor Larry Frakes. Music stirs our emotions, helping us to feel the presence of God in our midst as we worship.

     There are several different groups within the music ministry at Cool Spring. In addition to performances each Sunday, there are two major musical presentations during the year, at Christmas and at Easter. There are often additional presentations during the year in conjunction with other events.

     There are many opportunities of service in the Music and Worship Ministry.  Click here to see an updated listing.

The Praise Team - Accompanied by an instrumental ensemble, a Praise Team leads the musical section of the 8:30 and 10:00 Sunday morning worship services, and joins with the choir to lead the music of the 11:15 service.  These singers lead the congregation in worship, combining words of prayer and praise with inspirational and uplifting music.

 

The Adult Choir - The Adult Choir, along with a praise team, leads the music at the 11:15 service.  This group offers music in a variety of styles, offering praise to God and preparing the congregation for worship.  The Adult Choir also performs in seasonal programs at Christmas and Easter.

 

Instrumental Ensemble - An Instrumental Ensemble accompanies the Praise Team, individual soloists, and the Adult Choir during worship services and special presentations.

 

The Preschool Choir - The Preschool Choir meets Sunday afternoons at 5:00. It is this weekly meeting that gives the most impact for these young children, helping to introduce Christian values and fellowship to them at an early age. The Preschool Choir will sing a few songs once or twice a year at the beginning of the 11:15 Worship Service - an event not to be missed.

 

Children's Choir - There are two Children's Choirs, one for grades 1-3 and one for grades 4-6. They usually meet weekly on Sunday afternoons at 5:00. They occasionally sing during the Worship Services, and usually have one or two drama / musical performances per year.

 

Youth Choir - The Youth Choir includes children in grades 7 - 12. They usually present one or two drama / musical performances a year. In addition, the youth meet Sunday Evenings for praise (a full band), worship, and Bible study in IMPACT.

 

Handbell Ensemble - The Adult Handbell Ensemble will occasionally play during a Worship Service, or during special musical presentations, such as the Christmas musical.
