Anointed music and arts in the hands of gifted artists can have a powerful impact for God. No matter what the gathering, Music and the arts play at integral part of every New Hope Community Church event. Contemporary to traditional, loud to soft, musical and non-musical forms of the arts are all experienced.

We recognize that worship is not simply 30 minutes of music on Sunday morning, but a way of life. All of us have been created as worshippers and, left on our own, will worship something or someone. A.W. Tozer describes worship as "an everlasting preoccupation with God." The sole focus of the Worship Arts department at NHCC is to be preoccupied with and glorify the Name above all names, the Son of God, Yeshua — Jesus Christ. The goal within this ministry is that our congregation would individually develop a personal worship life that is an overflow of our corporate worship gatherings.

We need more cowbell. Okay, just kidding...but the Worship Arts Ministry is continually searching for people who exhibit 1) a heart for God, 2) a heart for true worship 3) the heart and attitude of a servant and 4) skill and proficiency in their area of artistic gifting and 5) a commitment to excellence.
