The Celebration Ministry is a great place
to serve if your talents and gifts are in music, media or the
arts. Opportunities begin at the first grade level and continue
on up through adults. If you sing, act, dance, play an instrument
or have technical skills then it's time to get connected! There's
nothing more exciting than being used of God to make a difference!
Celebration Choir
Overlake’s Celebration Choir provides an excellent opportunity
for singers with a heart for God and a love for music. The choir
participates in the Sunday morning services on the first, third
and fifth Sundays of the month from September through June. In
addition to their Sunday morning involvement, the choir brings
fresh excitement to the year through outreach productions. Rehearsals
each Wednesday at 7 pm combine hard work in an atmosphere of genuine
love and Christian fellowship. While auditions are not required
for this ministry, membership here at Overlake is. We welcome
singers of all ages to this dynamic ministry!
Orchestra
Performing like a studio orchestra, we play a huge variety of
styles as the needs dictate, and are built on a foundation of
a rhythm section. From time to time we put together a stage band,
or even a small mixed section of horns to play with the rhythm
section. Sometimes we feature only the strings or woodwinds, and
sometimes we do all of the above in the same service! You can
see why we think of ourselves as an entire instrumental department
and not just as an orchestra.
As the hub of the instrumental ministry, the orchestra typically
plays the 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays of the month for the worship
and choir specials. The smaller ensembles play on the 2nd and
4th Sundays. We also use the orchestra for special concerts and
productions. If you play a standard orchestra or band instrument,
don’t hesitate to drop by a regular Wednesday rehearsal
and check us out!
Rhythm Section Players
This exciting, creative and tight-knit ministry requires a high
level of commitment and professionalism. Serving as a stand-alone
unit, and as support for the Overlake soloists, choir, orchestra,
vocal team and productions, the rhythm section enjoys a wide variety
of musical styles. If you like a challenge, have a servant's heart,
read music charts, are versatile, and, above all, want to grow
in Christ, then check out the rhythm section ministry! It’s
more than just a rhythm section!
Ensembles
Ensembles provide that small group experience for the serious
musician here at Overlake. These groups perform throughout the
year here at Overlake as well as in the community. The groups
not only work very hard toward musical excellence but also develop
spiritually and form many lasting friendships. A high level of
commitment is required by participants who apply and audition
to be part of each group.
KIDstuf Singers (Grades 3-6)
The Overlake kids choir provides an excellent opportunity to
learn and communicate Biblical truths through music. Weekly
rehearsals are fun and fast paced where musical and spiritual
instruction is given in a loving environment. Visit the KIDstuf singers page for more information.
