Worship Team

The worship team works very hard to perform worship songs of various styles including Gospel, Contemporary, and Traditional.  The diversity of the team reflects the diversity of the members of NWCC.   Not many churches would attempt to do Kurt Carr’s ”God Great God”, Chris Tomlin’s “How Great is Our God” and an updated version of “How Great Thou Art” all in one service.  But, the NWCC is committed to presenting a diverse musical experience each Sunday.
