Worship
We enjoy a blend of worship and music styles here at Tullahoma First. Our worship services include traditional hymns, worship choruses, and contemporary worship songs. We seek to minister musically to everyone who attends our service - and our desire is that all our ministry will bring glory to Jesus Christ! At Tullahoma First our worship team knows that the Lord inhabits the praises of His people, and as a church, we are hungry for more of the presence of Lord!
Our worship team, led by Pastor John Harris is honored to invite people into the presence of God each service. We aim to communicate the Word of God and bring a deeper understanding of worship through music at services, ministry meetings, and church wide events.
"Sing praises to God and to His name! Sing joyful praises to Him who rides the clouds. His name is the LORD -- rejoice in His presence!" Psalm 68:4
