Never before have I been so excited to be a part of a team.  This week alone, WE have executed 17 weekend services, led worship for hundreds of worship leaders, called pastors and men’s ministry leaders to action, all the while setting up, programming, and planning for the Vertical Church Band’s second recording in just [...]

I am blessed to be able to be apart of an amazing production team here at Harvest Bible Chapel. My main job is to mix the audio for our weekend services. There is a lot that goes into this job and a lot of different aspects that I truly enjoy about it. While for sure [...]

Many people in our congregation probably wonder why I am talking into a microphone on stage during worship. This is especially noticeable when I’m on camera and you see me talk but don’t hear anything out in the house. Well I’m going to let you in on a not-so-secret secret.

So much of what I do as a band director happens pre-reaheasal. Here are a few points on things I do before I show up each weekend. 1. Decide Keys and Tempo Ok, so I hope you’re not insulted by the fact that this is even one of my points; but I’m guilty of not [...]

A Note to the Production Team: We come in early, we focus solely on our responsibility that weekend, we do it with excellence, and we leave- only to repeat the next weekend we’re scheduled.  While that’s a tall order most weekends, there’s so much more that we can easily miss out on: What about our [...]

If you’re at a church that has multiple services every weekend, you probably have experienced how the first service can be the “warm-up” service. The songs are rehearsed, but transitions aren’t smooth yet and you notice that you overlooked a pretty obvious missing part in your service. This is why at Harvest we do something [...]

This past weekend we implemented a handful special elements into the worship service: Scripture reading, Gospel Choir, Baptisms and Communion. Here’s the set list: 1. Awesome King (Harvest Song)
