The RUMC Praise Team provides the musical foundation for church goers who seek part of their connection with Christ through a contemporary form of worship both musically and in format. Since its formation in 2007, the Praise Team is an expression of faith, and a declaration of victory! It declares that we believe God is with us and in control of the outcome of all our circumstances (Romans 8:28). The Praise Team's purpose is to draw the congregation into the throne room, the presence of God our Creator. All who want to take this opportunity or anyone who feels led to become part of our team are invited to join.

Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! |

Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! (Psalm 150 ESV) |
Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!
