Worship Teams (Vocal)
We are always interested in hearing who God has placed in His congregation at Providence. Below are details related to singing on the worship team or playing in the rhythm section (band). We typically hold auditions for the vocal team in the spring (April-May). If you are uncertain about how you can be used vocally at Providence, you are welcome to come join us in choir while you get your bearings. For information about coming to choir, please contact Nan Honeycutt.
