Worship Arts

The worship arts of Trinity Bible Church is a wonderful and continually expanding ministry. From music to drama and all in between we do our best to hone our skills and create an organic and unique atmosphere in our worship services...a place where we hope to be invisible yet lead, to be empowered yet humble and ultimately to lead others to Christ.
	Worship Arts include: musicians vocalists actors writers visual arts/graphics audio/video/lighting cd duplication deaf ministry etc.
Our Worship Arts pastor, Joel Sprayberry, toured full time as an independent songwriter/performer from 1998 until joining us here at Trinity in October 2009.        He has released 7 albums and has shared the stage with hundreds of amazing performers. He has lead worship in numerous churches throughout Texas and Louisiana.  We are blessed to have him here sharing not only his talents but His love and devotion to the Lord.  You can contact Joel at joel@trinitybible.org.
As we continue to grow in our spiritual walk as a team we also are growing our repertoire of music at Trinity.  Our desire is to be unique with an individual sound made up of the creativity and inspiration of each member of our group.  As God has connected us in tons of different musical backgrounds, we hope to "glue" all those sounds together.
Here is a small list of bands/worship leaders that you may be familiar with. We often use songs from:

strange instruments on stage?   here is some background on the toys we include in:
The didgeridoo is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia at least 1,500 years ago and is still in widespread usage today both in Australia and around the world. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". Musicologists classify it as a brass aerophone.     A modern didgeridoo is usually cylindrical or conical, and can measure anywhere from 1 to 3 m (3 to 10 ft) long. Most are around 1.2 m (4 ft) long. The length is directly related to the 1/2 sound wavelength of the keynote. Generally, the longer the instrument, the lower the pitch or key of the instrument. - wikipedia
	The Appalachian dulcimer (or mountain dulcimer) is a fretted string instrument of the zither family, typically with three or four strings. It is native to the Appalachian region of the United States. The body extends the length of the fingerboard, and its fretting is generallydiatonic.      Although the Appalachian dulcimer appeared in regions dominated by Irish and Scottish settlement, the instrument has no known precedent in Ireland or Scotland. However, several diatonic fretted zithers exist in Continental Europe, which bear a strong similarity to the dulcimer. - wikipedia
The Goblet drum (also Chalice drum, Darbuka or Doumbek) is a goblet shaped hand drum used mostly in music originating in countries near the Middle East. Its thin, responsive drumhead and resonance help it produce a distinctively crisp sound. Though it is not known exactly when these drums were first made, they are known to be of ancient origin.      Traditionally, goblet drums may be made of clay, metal, or wood. Modern goblet drums are also sometimes made of synthetic materials, including fiberglass. Modern metal drums are commonly made of aluminum (either cast, spun, or formed from a sheet) or copper. Some aluminum drums may have a mother-of-pearl inlay, which is purely decorative. Traditional drum heads were animal skin, commonly goat and also fish. Modern drums commonly use synthetic materials for drum heads, including mylar and fiberglass. - wikipedia
