Listed below are the basic guidelines for team leaders and members of the OFH Worship Ministry. These standards are to be viewed and handled within the context of God’s grace which is at work both in us and among us. If you are interested in serving with us please assess yourself in light of these standards before approaching a leader. It is the role of the team leader and ultimately the ministry lead to reach conclusions and recommendations concerning potential candidates.
