MUSIC MINISTRIES
There are many components that make Evangel a place to belong: dynamic preaching, Spirit-filled worship, effective outreach, powerful age-appropriate ministries, etc.
But at the heart of Evangel is our Music Ministries. The Music of Evangel is literally celebrated around the world.
Evangel Music Ministries consist of the: Band, Praise and Worship Team, Award-Winning Evangel Youth Choir, Children's Choir, Special Events Choir(s), and Evangel Celebration Choir.
THE BAND
This professional ensemble of musicians consists of keyboard musicians, lead and bass guitarists, drums and percussion, and horns.
The Band meets every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. for rehearsals and provides accompaniment for the choirs, soloists and ensembles as well as special music for all worship services, concerts and other church-related and community activities.
The Band can be heard weekly in our morning services and on the "Living in the Flow" Radio Broadcast every Saturday at 10 a.m. on Gospel 1390 AM.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP TEAM
The Praise and Worship Team meets every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. This Team also ministers weekly at our Sunday and Wednesday services and at all other major services.
The Worship Team has been blessed to lead worship for local, regional, national and international functions for the Assemblies of God, the Willow Creek Community Church and for numerous denominations, organizations and churches around the country and abroad.
In 2004, the Worship Team was invited to lead worship and perform in concert for the Assemblies of God throughout Tokyo, Japan.
EVANGEL YOUTH CHOIR
Our Award-winning Evangel Youth Choir meets every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. for rehearsal and ministers bi-monthly at our 8 a.m. service.
The Youth Choir also ministers at numerous youth functions and outreaches, and is called upon to minister to young and old alike at schools, churches and community gatherings throughout the City of Chicago and abroad.
In 2005, the Evangel Youth Choir was selected as the 1st PLACE WINNERS in the Kellogg's National "Gospel Sing-Off" Competition winning an all-expense paid trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and the privilege to perform with national gospel artists Kierra Sheard and Donnie McClurkin
EVANGEL CHILDREN'S CHOIR
The Children's Choir of Evangel is a Ministry of KIDz Zone for students K-5th grade. The Choir rehearses at 10 a.m. on Sunday's (between both services) and minister in song at selected Sunday and Wednesday services, at Special Events and in their own annual concert.
SPECIAL EVENTS CHOIRS
Throughout the year, congregants are encouraged to come and sing with the choir(s) for Special Events. This would include the Men's Choir, the Women's Choir, the Christmas Choir, the Mass Choir and other Special Events that may be announced.
If you would like to try singing with the choir without the fear of an audition, you are welcome to come and participate in our Special Events Choir(s).
