The Woodhaven School of the Arts is a ministry of Woodhaven Baptist Church. Our goals are to:Provide excellent training in the fine arts.Develop future church music leaders.Minister to our community through Christian Arts.

It is our desire to provide the best in fine arts instruction as an extension of our Christian ministry. We are dedicated to creating an atmosphere where students can learn fine arts, develop their God-given talents and use their gifts in praise of God.Enrollment and InstructionPrivate study is offered in: PianoOrganVoiceGuitar, mandolin, banjo Visual arts (Group and Individual)

 

The lessons are offered on a weekly basis in 30 minute blocks. Advanced lessons in piano, voice, strings, and organ are available with permission from the instructor and WSA director.  Vocal instruction is offered to rising ninth graders through adults. Previous piano study required for organ lessons.Registration 

To begin the enrollment process new students must:complete registration form and enrollment agreement submit them with a $25.00 registration fee on or before the registration deadline

When a student is enrolled, he/she is committing to an entire semester of study.Lessons &amp; Scheduling

All lessons are taught at Woodhaven Baptist Church to provide consistency and an atmosphere conducive to learning. No exceptions. During the enrollment process, each student will be assigned an instructor. The student or parent of the student will then be contacted to confirm a convenient lesson or class time. Once a lesson time is established, it is important that the student continue through the semester with that time.Make Up Policy

We consider your private lesson time as a standing appointment. If the teacher has to miss a lesson, it will be made up. If the student misses a lesson, PRIOR NOTICE IS REQUIRED.   We would prefer a six-hour or more notice for that lesson day. Please contact the instructor directly. Contacting the church office should only be used as a last resort as messages cannot always be relayed effectively to an instructor. Under these outlined circumstances, (with proper prior notice) the teacher will make up ONE lesson per student per semester. End of Semester Recitals

It is important for students to hear other students play/sing. There is also great value in students performing in public. Therefore, each student will be encouraged to attend and play/sing on the spring semester recital and should plan to remain for the entire program. Adult students are not required to perform in recitals.2010-2011 Calendar

Stephen Ministry is an outreach of the pastoral care offered at Woodhaven to people experiencing times of transition and crisis in their lives.  Stephen Ministers are laypeople who have been equipped and trained to provide confidential, one-to-one, distinctively Christian care.Laypeople: Stephen Ministers are trained and supervised lay volunteers, not professional counselors or therapists, pastors, or physicians. Confidential: Stephen Ministers observe strict standards of confidentiality in their relationships with their care-receivers, whose identity and personal circumstances are very closely protected.One-to-one: Stephen Ministers meet privately with one care receiver of the same gender. Distinctly Christian:  Stephen Ministers are Christians who care in the name of Christ.  They are equipped and willing to talk about spiritual issues as their care-receivers may desire, but they fully respect their care-receivers autonomy, and never insist upon their own point of view on any issue.Care:  Stephen Ministers care by listening, supporting and encouraging, praying, being dependable and trustworthy, and maintaining confidentiality in their caregiving.  Stephen Ministers provide the care, but it is God who provides the cure.</description>

<title>WORSHIP - Worship</title>
<link>http://www.woodhaven.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&amp;id=22</link>

<description>
Worship is welcoming God&#39;s grace and favor to embrace us as we embrace God in spirit and truth. 

&quot;Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.&quot;  John 4:23

Our goal is to offer creative worship experiences that will help build a unified  congregation of believers through blended worship services, utilizing both traditional and non-traditional expressions of worship, and addressing the different needs of a transgenerational congregation and non-believers within our community.

We have two worship services each Sunday morning.

8:30am Contemporary Worship:   The Contemporary Worship service seeks to glorify God through a more contemporary and casual setting. Through uplifting praise music, personal testimonies, and the use of multimedia, this service encourages authentic and dynamic worship experiences.  

10:30am Traditional Worship: This service is a more traditional style of worship. Our outstanding organist and pianist will usher you into the sanctuary proclaiming God&#39;s praises through hymns and moments of meditation. This classical service relies more on instruments like the flute, clarinet, trumpet and handbells.  We are blessed with a superb chancel choir that compliments their anthems with solo and duets. This service seeks to honor God through creative and blended worship experiences and Christ centered messages. We hope you will come and encounter God&#39;s love and grace at either one of these Christ centered worship services.  Discover Worship at Woodhaven !</description>

<title>Tithes and Offerings - On Line Giving</title>
<link>http://www.woodhaven.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&amp;id=58</link>
<guid>http://www.woodhaven.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&amp;id=58&amp;article_id=245</guid>
<description>
Tithing is a biblical principle of giving your time, talents and financial tithes to support the Kingdom of God. Church members and faithful friends of Woodhaven have chosen to help expand the Kingdom of God through the missions and ministry of Woodhaven Baptist Church. A tithe is considered to be a  financial gift of ten percent (10%) of an individuals weekly, monthly or annual income. Some members give on a weekly basis while other members give bi-monthly, monthly or quaterly to God&#39;s Church and ministries. A financial offering is actually considered to be a gift above and beyond the ten percent of a person&#39;s income. Some members sacrificially  both tithe and give offerings to special mission efforts or ministries they embrace and support. Tithes and offerings are genuine and sincere gifts birthed from a persons heart, soul and mind who seek to honor and give thanks to God for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Giving is an expression of our love and faithfulness to Christ.</description>

<title>4 WAYS TO BE CREATIVE IN YOUR PRAYER TIME - Prayer</title>
<link>http://www.woodhaven.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&amp;id=26</link>
<guid>http://www.woodhaven.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&amp;id=26&amp;article_id=190</guid>
<description>


1.  The Psalms are ancient hymns filled with deep feelings and emotion.  Read five psalms each day.  Allow them to shape the content of your  prayer time.  In 30 days you will have read through all 150 psalms.

2.  Use the A.C.T.S. model to shape your prayer time.  Begin with Adoration, praising God  for who He is, followed by Confession, Thanksgiving, and  end with Supplication, as you present your requests to God.

3.  Take a walk on the beach, through a garden, or in the   mountains.  Allow God&#39;s  creation to shape your prayer.  See His detail, His beauty, His faithfulness, and His power.

4.  Write your prayers.  Keep a journal.  Use art if you like.  Be sure to periodically note how each situation is unfolding.

One of the strengths of Woodhaven is the balance of our age groups, from infants to senior adults. A vital part of this balance is our Senior Adult Ministry. Approximately seventy people make up this group. Some of our &quot;Seasoned&quot; adults are still employed, some retired or nearing retirement and some are homebound. 

Woodhaven&#39;s Senior Adult Ministry includes: Bible Study, fellowship, evenings out, day trips, extended trips, intergenerational activities and ministry projects. Woodhaven senior adults are involved in a wide range of activities at Woodhaven. Our seniors teach in Bible Study and Small Groups, active on church committees and councils, serve as deacons and are involved in ushering and preschool child care during worship services. 

If you are a &quot;Seasoned Adult&quot; looking for a church home and new friends, come and try us out.

is a community created by the Holy Spirit to unify and edify the Body of Christ for Christian service.

&quot;They devoted themselves to the apostles&#39; teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.&quot;   Acts 2:42-47

Woodhaven provides fellowship opportunites to  build personal relationships that will help people discover their place in the family of God.
