Mark Drama
Getting to know Jesus better, in our heads and in our hearts. Music is really important to people at Above Bar Church, and we’re big fans of drama and other things that help us engage with the Bible and grow in our love of Jesus.
Music Ministry
The Music Ministry team serve in bands that lead sung praise and worship in our services and use their gifts to serve at other events.
Music is an important part of our worship in all our Sunday services, at 9.15am, 11am and 6.30pm. Serving on the music ministry team is a real joy and a blessing. If you play an instrument or can lead singing and would like to join the team please send an email to Dave (instruments) and Gill (vocals).
Music ministry doesn’t just happen on Sundays, though. Lots of other events and churches are blessed through this ministry, at events like Church Life Days, youth services at other churches, Forest Fire conferences and Carols in New Milton Baptist Church.

The Mark Drama
The Gospel of Mark, in 90 minutes, without props, costumes or professional actors. A team from your church or Christian Union can learn the order of the events in Mark’s Gospel and put on a drama. It’s an amazing experience for Christians, and it’s also great for anyone investigating the Christian faith. Find out more on the Mark Drama website »
The Mark Drama was devised by Andrew Page, who is a member of Above Bar Church. He left the church’s leadership team in 2011 to work for the Mark Drama full-time.
