Living Praise Worship Team

Living Praise is a Music Ministry/Worship Team founded on the call to worship the Lord through song and praise. They strive to bring a spirit of worship wherever they sing, inviting all to become “living praise” for the Lord with them.

Though some of its members have worshipped together for nearly 25 years, the group’s formal ministry began in 1998 providing worship for women’s conferences. Since then, Living Praise has been ministering at churches, revivals, retreats and other Christian conferences and events. They have produced a number of CD’s, including “Draw Me, Oh King”, and “Magnify” from the “Worship with Steubenville” CD Series, and “My Soul Must Sing.”
