For quite a while I've had a desire to start a website dedicated to serving our worship team members. I'm so glad to say it's finally a reality. On this page you'll find information, announcements, and resources to help you be as effective in your role with FirstNLR Worship as possible. I hope you'll make a point to visit this site at least once a week. Love you guys. Brad
