Drama Ministry

The drama ministry at Niemonds Independent Church hopes to offer musical drama quarterly at Niemonds during regular services  or as we are presented with the need. Tabitha Goodling is the director of the program which does not meet on a routine basis. Skits and dramas are performed as the need arises and the director feels led to write a production. Anyone interested in the drama ministry is invited to take part in any production. Announcements will be made when a program is in the works. Youth interested in the musical dramas should contact Tabitha.

Sound Ministry

Our sound ministry team here at Niemonds has consisted of a devoted group of sound techs since moving into our new building in 2006. Our schedule is on a rotation and we occasionally meet as a group to go over any new topics and/or provide training necessary to run any new equipment. We are responsible for running sound equipment during all Sunday services as well as any special services or programs held. On occasion anyone from the sound team may be asked to run sound during weddings or events held at our newer church building, chapel or even our picnic grove pavillion. Our main goal is to make sure that all words through preaching or singing are amplified at a clear level so that anyone in any seat of our building can hear the gospel message through word or song.
