A MINISTRY TO ENCOURAGE
GOD’S PEOPLE TO PRAISE HIM!
The primary question is not, “Do you have a voice?” but “Do you have a song?”  If you believe God has put a song of gratitude and praise in your heart and feel called to encourage others to find it, the ministry of the Celebration Choir is the place for you!  Musically speaking, you need to be able to carry a tune and have sense of tempo (the ability of singing together with others).  More importantly, we look for followers of Jesus who love the Lord and want to spur others to express their love and praise to the One who is worthy of all praise!  The Celebration Choir leads worship weekly in both Sunday morning services. These dates are given at the beginning of every season [September through December and January through April].  They also present special seasonal outreach programs at Christmas, Easter and other times of the year.

Rehearsals every Thursday at 6:15-8:00 pm in the Music Room

If you are interested, please contact Pastor Daniel Elias at 559-686-0004, danielelias@tularefbc.org or you are welcome to check us out by attending one of our rehearsals.  Come and join us as we build God’s kingdom through praises!

FACILITATING WORSHIP A WEEK AT A TIME!
The celebration band is made up of a small group of singers and instrumentalists who lead God’s people in worship every Sunday.  It is comprised of a small vocal ensemble supported by a Rhythm section (drums, electric bass, guitars and keyboard/piano) and wind instruments.  We would love to add some strings though, so if you are string player, please let us know.  If God has gifted you with ability to sing or play any instrument and desire to use your God-given talent for His glory, please contact Pastor Daniel at 559-686-0004 or danielelias@tularefbc.org for an appointment?  We currently have a healthy rotation of singers and instrumentalists from week to week; however, we are always looking for new talent with a humble heart that is willing to be used for God’s purposes.  Come and be part of the team that seeks to lift up Jesus through songs of praise!

Rehearsals are on Thursdays 7:30-9:00 pm in the Worship Center.

Here at TFBC, we believe in raising worshippers from an early age. That’s why we have an active children’s choir program.

“Joyful Noise” (4’s and 5’s year old and 1st Graders)
Room E7 in the 1st floor of the two-story building

“Singers for Jesus” (2nd through 5th graders) Music Room in the Activity Center

Rehearsals are on Wednesdays during the Fall (September through December) and Winter-Spring season (January through April) from 5:30 to 6:20 pm

If you have a child in any of these age groups and would like for them to learn to worship Jesus, please contact Pastor Daniel Elias at 559-686-0004 or danielelias@tularefbc.org

What does W.H.I.M stand for?

Worship Him in Movement
Worship is more than singing songs and listening to sermons; it is responding to the glory and greatness of God with all we are and all we do.

W.H.I.M. Mission Statement
The mission statement of this ministry is to glorify God through the use of our bodies as a way of expressing our love, devotion and adoration to Him.

While encouraging the Body of Christ to praise the Lord, dance also serves as a tool to proclaim the Gospel to the world through movement. If your passion is dancing and you want to dance for the Lord then please contact Pastor Daniel at danielelias@tularefbc.org

Drama
At this time we do not have an organized drama group that meets regularly; however, we have a very talented pool of actors from which we can draw for Sunday dramatic presentations or special outreach events.

If you are interested in participating and believe God has entrusted you with the talent of acting please contact Pastor Daniel Elias at 559-686-0004 or danielelias@tularefbc.org

Tech-Team
As TFB strives to move forward with technology and incorporates it as a key element in worship, we need YOU great “Tech-minds.”  Are you always up to date with technology?  If God has given you experience and/or are interested in the areas of sound, lighting, computer (general/graphics), and video, YOU are greatly needed!  If you are interested, please contact Pastor Daniel Elias at 559-686-0004 or danielelias@tularefbc.org  He is eagerly awaiting to hear from you!

Behind-the-Scenes Ministries
If you want to serve God but you do not like to be in “the spot light” (performing), there is a whole array of odd jobs involved in putting together a special program outreach.  To mention a few: design and building of props, sewing costumes, stage management and crew, make-up, advertising, etc.  If you believe God can use you through any of the ministries mentioned above, please be an answer to prayer by contacting Pastor Daniel today at 559-686-0004 or danielelias@tularefbc.org
