Worship | Media Team~ Carol Moore, Elder

God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music and drama ministry. Some play their instruments. Some are vocalists. Others are involved in the choir. Still others get involved in drama. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of our church, using their talents and gifts to glorify God.  Using media to spread the gospel is a privilege of this church. In an age of widespread technology, we have a stewardship to use these tools as best as possible for kingdom purposes.

Mission:

Address the underlying issues teenagers face that have proven to be detrimental to their productivity and success in society by in instilling spiritual values which leads to the formation of their own relationship with God.  Thus, we will alter their mindset, influence their attitude, and produce focused teens who are more apt to be spiritually minded productive members of society.

The Genesis

This vision was originated and birthed during a time where Pastor Williams was seeking God, and allowed him to hear the Macedonian Cry of this generation.  Across the nation, but especially in our current area, the teenagers are warring with many issues.  They are fighting battle after battle…but they are not winning the war.  Teen suicides, pregnancy, school-dropout rate, perversion, violence, among many other things are steadily increasing without properly educating our youth on how to cope with such issues.  God allowed me to see the spirits, messengers of Satan, unleashed to buffet this generation. While they are trying to manage their issues, they are not being guided on how to develop their lives spiritually with all these hindrances. 

We are churchin’ them tirelessly, but we are not reaching them; therefore, we are losing the war.

God told him to develop an avenue, place, time, and build a kingdom of young people who are equipped to war with their own enemies spiritually.  Thus, the birthing of
“D-TAG Ministries”, Determined Teens After God.
 
The Military Tag is symbolic of us going to war with the enemy.  We are determined to take back each and every young person that the enemy has stolen, or is trying to steal from the kingdom of God.
The Kingdom suffers violence, but the violent take it by force.
There is no time to pacify the body of Christ, especially the teens. 
 
We must equip, train, and educate them on how they can win the war, instead of fighting battles.
