Thank you for expressing an interest in being a part of the Praise Team here at The Fellowship at Cinco Ranch! 

We are excited about getting to know you, your talents, and your heart for worship.  While there are many great singers and players, we are interested in people who seek to increase the praise of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  The Fellowship at Cinco Ranch’s Praise Teams exist to make great, the name of the LORD, through the worship and praise of our music.

 

“The aim and final reason of all music, should be none other than the glory of God.” -J.S. Bach
