We are currently re-forming our church orchestra. The orchestra will accompany hymns in our Classic worship service on a regular basis and occasionally play a special piece of music for the prelude or to accompany the choir. They will also play occasionally in Soul Café. For more information, you may contact our Worship Arts Pastor, Brooks Clary at 982-5531 or brooks@fbcmaryville.org.
We try to regularly incorporate drama into our worship services in order to set up a problem that is addressed in the sermon, to illustrate a point that will be made in the sermon or to enhance the worship focus of the morning. Often we will write our own sketches to fit the need in worship. For more information, you may contact the church office at 982-5531 or our Worship Arts Pastor,
We have a great need for “ologists” - Soundologists, Videologists, Graphicologists, Lightologists. Our technology ministry is a vitally important behind the scenes ministry. We have some very gifted technological people who volunteer their time and many newly trained “ologists” as well. For more information, you may contact our Worship Arts Pastor, Brooks Clary at 982-5531 or brooks@fbcmaryville.org.
