Our mission statement: To celebrate the Lord’s works through exuberant praise, to bring an offering of passionate worship, and to lead God’s people into His presence.
Our vision statement: To accomplish our mission, Crescendo seeks to glorify the Lord, responding to the Spirit, through a union of instruments, voices, exhortations, sound and media systems, performances, and a harmonious blend of songs (older and newer). Through this union we will reach a diverse group of people within the Honea Path area and wherever we have influence. In whatever we do, we will praise and worship the Lord wholeheartedly and with an excellent spirit—not to entertain or “cheerlead,” but to have an encounter with the Lord and to make His power and love known.
