Worship Director

The Worship Director’s role is to focus our attention on God and acknowledge that He is worthy of praise, honor and glory (Revelation 5:12). He has made a way for us to stand in His presence because of Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection. May our praise of Him start with the position of our heart and affect our whole life.

At Valley Evangelical Free Church, we believe that Christian worship is a holistic practice with both corporate and individual expressions that engage the believer’s heart, mind, body and soul. As a community of God’s people, it is a great privilege to come together in corporate praise and worship of our God. It is also an opportunity to display our unity and love for one another in Christ Jesus as we join with one voice to proclaim His glorious works, mercy and love. At Valley Free, our desire is that the hymns and songs being sung are faithful to both Scripture and sound doctrine, exalt God rather than man and are ultimately Christ-centered.

The foundational principles of worship at Valley Free church are that worship be biblical, congregational and multigenerational.
