Kristi Thomas - Music Minister
Kristi Thomas has served in music ministry in the Church of God since she was a young girl. God called her to lead worship at Highest Praise in 2003. She serves as the director of the Alabaster Band & Choir. Colossians 1:16 says "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him." Our purpose and desire is to love and honor our King through all of the expressions of praise and worship that His Word calls upon us to give Him. When we begin to sing, play our instruments, and worship, we know that God's presence comes into our environment. When God comes in, He brings all of His greatness with Him.
