Making An Impact Through Worship
After many months of silence, the sounds of worship are filling the halls of PCA as the Impact Team begins another year of leading worship. Once again this talented team of singers, instrumentalists and technical crew use their gifts to honor the Lord and bless the student body during weekly Chapels. In order to prepare for each Chapel, Impact members spend many hours planning, rehearsing, and practicing every week.
While each student brings something unique to the team, students also recognize what they receive from serving. Olivia Martin is the music director, plays the keyboard and sings. "Serving on the Impact Team has been a great opportunity to use my love of music to praise Jesus. I love that there is a team of students with the same passion I get to do that with," says Martin.
Anna Jaye Walters returns to the Impact Team playing lead guitar and singing. Seasoned vocalists Madison Broach, Bella Byham and Dani Wulff also are in their second year. "Serving on the Impact Team has been very beneficial for me personally because it gives me a way to own my faith and display it to others," senior Madison Broach says.
Newcomer Aly Godwin has been a special addition this year playing the bass guitar. Sophomore Will Wheeler returns leading our rhythm section on the drums. "Serving in a group of like-minded people is amazing," says Wheeler.
Keeping the music team sounding great and the video streamed into our classrooms is the amazing technical crew of Abby Creech, Colby Dumont and Hannah ZumBrunnen.
PCA teachers, Quinn Disrud and Kathy Thames are in their second year assisting with the student-led Impact Team. "The Impact Team is so important to the heart of PCA because these students are choosing to take leadership roles in something that is near to the heart of God, worship. Watching these students grow spiritually and musically is an absolute joy," said Mrs. Thames.
