Benifit Concert-Severe Weather Shelter

Craftsmen Ministries at our last concert to benefit the Beaverton Severe Weather Shelter.

  We had a fantastic time and raised funds for a worthy cause.  The greater Beaverton area has a shortage of locations for the homeless when the weather is very cold.  Beaverton First Baptist Church & the City of Beaverton work together with several other churchs to assist individuals and families that are homeless and require a place to escape in severe cold weather.  If you would like more information you can contact Beaverton First Baptist Church or the City of Beaverton and ask about the Severe Weather Shelter.

"One Voice"

Craftsmen Ministries presents : "ONE VOICE".  Under the leadership of Margo J., "One Voice" presents their Love for God with their voices.  Great mix and harmonies.  Contact Craftsmen Ministries to arrange for "ONE VOICE" to minister to your organization.

Last Thursday 8/11

WOW!  Craftsmen Ministries Thursday practice was such a huge step in the growth of the ministry.   Craftsmen Ministries is comprised of three groups at this time.  "Craftsmen Singers" is a male choral group comprised of 9 singers,  "One Voice" is a female choral group comprised of 6 singers, and "Craftsband" is a full band comprised of piano, keyboard, guitars, drums, & percussion.

This last year has been a time of tremendous growth and we have made great efforts to provide a wide variety of music and raise the standard.

I believe God wants us to strive to be the very best in all things.  We are made in His image and we need to reflect that.

Contact us for concerts in the greater Portland Oregon area.   Sam Cates
