Worship Arts
Willow Bend’s Worship Arts seek to help provide opportunities for people called by God to serve in a manner that worships Him above all. We believe God has given each of us a gift and talent to share for His glory. (James 1:17)
Our team’s efforts are to offer the very best music, worship, and other appropriate elements to our God. We collaborate together to better our best for the good of our church family, the community, and our personal relationships with our Lord and Savior.
Our Mission
Pursue, Preserve, and Propel the Gospel.
How to Get Involved in Worship Arts.
We would encourage those feeling God’s calling to serve in any capacity to contact our Worship Pastor, Eric Plyler or our Music Director, Kris Berg. Opportunities include instrumental and vocal performance and audio, visual and media production.
Eric grew up in Longview, Tx where the love of church service was rooted deep. He served with Pastor Bob as the youth intern for 2 years at Oakland Heights Baptist Church and while in college, transitioned to being the “Music Guy” at a small church in Campbell where he led worship. Eric obtained his Bachelor of Science degree at Texas A&M University – Commerce in 2013.
After this, he fell away from church leadership for a few years until God decided to “rock his world” (sorry for the music pun.. I had to!) and call him back to the fold. He is now married to his wonderful wife, Katy Plyler, and enjoying many other blessings from God.Together, they have plans to grow the church in the near future.
Kris Berg grew up in the St. Louis area before moving south to attend the University of North Texas (BM/MM). He has been active as the bassist in our worship team for over 20 years.
Kris’ 80+ published compositions are performed by jazz orchestras world-wide. His two critically acclaimed jazz CDs have garnered 8 Global Music Awards. He has performed at jazz festivals all over the world and tours yearly in Asia with the IHS World Orchestra ministries (Switzerland). Kris resides in Frisco with his wife, Yvette, and daughter, Kristen. His oldest son, Michael, and younger son, Jonathan, with wife Shelbi and grandson Ian, also live in area.
