WORSHIP MINISTRY – Our Worship Ministry helps us to celebrate our faith, as each of us grows in relationship with God. Music is an important part of worship expression at PABC. Our Worship Team leads congregational singing and teaches new worship songs. We also enjoy sharing songs of faith at community events, like the Champaign Parade of Lights at Christmastime and visits to local retirement homes. Adults and high-schoolers who enjoy music are encouraged to join our Worship Team, which meets each Sunday: at 5:00 p.m. during the school year and at 10:30 a.m. for Summer Choir. As we worship, we experience the goodness of God, communicate the hope of our faith, and enjoy life in Christ together.
