Worship Ministries is a place where you can be part of creating meaningful worship and music experiences with and for our congregation here at MapleRidge. There are multiple spaces to participate! If you are interested in belonging to this ministry area, please contact Pastor Kristel Peters, she’d love to hear from you.
Adult Choir
The choir leads worship in our Classic Worship Service along with preparing for special services and events, late August – May. Ages 9th grade and up are welcome to add their voice by joining us Wednesday evenings at 7:45 – 8:45 for rehearsal.
Worship Band
The Worship Band consists of a variety of instrumentalists and vocalists who prepare music for the Modern Worship Service. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings 6:15 – 7:30. We are open to adding musicians to our MapleRidge Worship Band.
Handbell Choir
Our handbell choir regularly practices and performs pieces throughout the year for worship services and special concerts.
Technical Crew
Our Audio/Visual team is an important part of helping our worship services happen with excellence. We have a dedicated volunteer group involved with managing our Sound Board, Worship Visuals, and Live-stream every week. If you have experience or want to learn how to be part of this vital ministry, we have a place for you!
Strummin’ & Singin’
Strummin’ & Singin’ is a jamming session — including guitarists and any other instrumentalists, as well as those who just want to come and sing along and enjoy the fellowship. The range of music is vast, including — but not limited to — hymns, gospel, praise and stretching out to other genres. Acoustic and electric instruments are welcome, as are folks from all skill levels. This group meets at 7:30 PM the 2nd Monday of the month and is open to all interested.
Instrumentalists
All instruments have a place in worship! Brass woodwinds, strings . . . If you are an instrumentalist who is willing to share your talents with us, please let us know.
Creative Arts Team
Worship involves more than music. If you are someone who appreciates expressing through creativity and beauty, this is a space for you to connect. We’re looking for creatives to join a team involved with enhancing our worship space and services in a way that reflects our community and honors God.
