Josh West
Music Minister
As the Music Minister at Sweet Home, I am honored to serve alongside our congregation, leading in worship and healping create an environment where God's presence can be felt deeply. Music is a powerful tool for connecting with God and one another, and I believe through each note, lyric, and rhythm, we can bring glory to God while also fostering spiritual growth within our community. My passion is to encourage people to worship with their whole hearts and to experience the transformative power of music in their walk with Christ.
In my role, I strive to cultivate a team of musicians and choir who are dedicated to excellence in both their craft and their faith. Together, we aim to create a worship experience that is not only uplifting but also reverent and impactful. Whether through contemporary praise, traditional hymns, or creative arrangements, our goal is to lead our church family into a deeper relationship with God, helping them to encounter His love and grace in a new way every week. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in this capacity and excited to see how God will continue to move in our worship ministry.
