For the last year or so, our team found ourselves in a season of writing that hasn’t been like the seasons we’ve written in before. We began writing songs that didn’t exactly fit in the “Songs for Sunday morning” category. But the problem was, we didn’t know what to do with these songs. It was then that we started to think, “what if these songs weren’t necessarily made for the platform”? Does it mean that they’re not any good? What if God wanted to write a story through us to share with people who were going through times of despair; for the moments when people felt by themselves, for the moments that no one sees on Sunday morning. What if it was time to transition off the platform and into the prayer closet? This is for those times: Songs for the Pain.

We’re excited to announce the release of our new song “Matchless One”. You can get it now, on all of the digital platforms available to you. For musicians and worship leaders, free lead sheets and rhythm charts are available now for download. We also have multitracks, choir arrangements, and orchestrations! Help us spread the word!

We’re excited about the continuing upgrades to the look and technical capacities of our downtown sanctuary. First of all, we now have stained glass inserts in the baptistry and on the sides. Check out the before and after:       We are also installing beautiful new LED screens.  The image will be clearer, sharper, and will be completely visible without lowering the lighting level in the room!   And additionally, we now have LED, color-controlled lights on the front of the building:

Family Church Worship is excited to announce that we have begun recording a new album! Over the past few weeks we’ve been in Legacy Studios with Angel Arce, our recording engineer, and Winner Olmann, our producer, tracking drums with Danny Marquez (the Mexican Sensation), with bass, keys, guitars and vocals soon to follow. The songs on this as-yet-untitled project are all originals written by Family Church Worship. We’ve begun using some of them in worship services across the Family Church campuses, and are encouraged by how warmly the songs are being received. You might have heard one or two of them before: Undefeated I Found Freedom Revive Us The Glory of the Cross Jehovah Winner Olmann is excited about how the new project is turning out: “I think this EP will resonate more with our people because it is OUR story and we wrote these songs because of what our church is going through right now. Our church is very Gospel and Ministry oriented and our church is very excited to see people being brought to life and that is definitely evident in the Lyrics of these songs.” Look for the new album to be released in February.

Here is the music video for “Go Tell It.” Do us a favor and share it all over social media–we want to spread the love and the fun!

God experienced the praise of heaven’s creation, long before His plan for humanity unfolded. Harmonics of His worship flowed in some form even before He spoke into being the very vibrations and physics needed for audible sound. The three persons of God glorified one another and the heavenly hosts sang an eternally resounding, “Hallelujah.” If that doesn’t blow your mind a bit, then take another moment to try and process it. The hugeness of Almighty God is eternally, all consuming. Every facet of His being demands response and respect. Yet, He came as a poor, humble child, that all would know Him. As Family Church Worship has been working on our Christmas project this year, I’ve been reminded of God’s constant goodness and fullness, outlined by His humility. Those who have ever journeyed through a creative process understand the weight of the intangibles; those external forces that inevitably keep us focused and bring us back around to our starting point of inspiration. For us, those externals came in the usual forms of restraints of time, scheduling conflicts, editing delays, and a consortium of copyright considerations. But together, our team spent days and nights lovingly pouring ourselves out, as God refilled us with His presence, with the good company of each other doing what we love… music, for Him. We felt full in Christ, encouraged by the way He helped the necessary tensions to be managed, for His glory, and for His renown. One early fond memory I have from the recording of this project was sitting in my office with Winner Olmann and Tyler Sherrod and discussing, “O Come O Come Emmanuel.” I said, “The original version always felt so sad to me. Lets do something different here.” Then, Mark Warnock was classic after he heard that we had done it in a major key. Yes, we are all admittedly just a twinge nerdy, and proud of it. Another great memory was sitting in the Family Church Gardens conference room previewing each other’s demos. Winner was up, and we started playing the song he was solely responsible for, “Go Tell It.” Nobody had a single significant critique. We were all immediately blown away by his vision and ability to communicate both musically and production-wise what he was feeling. I think I can speak accurately for the others that we were all just completely floored. God is so God!! Go tell it! None of us could get that groove out of our head for the rest of the week. There are many other wonderful memories we’ve collected along the way through the recording of our choir, brass, various vocal ensembles, rhythm section musicians, and string capturing endeavors. My hope for you as the listener is that the great joy that God has put in each of us, translates and helps you to transcend the busy rush between each of the precious moments you have, no matter the season. Thank you for your support and commitment for our continued mission to go …
