The Santa Cruz Celebrate Recovery Band / JZM Worship Team began its ministry in 1996 when a group of musicians united together to lead worship for the Celebrate Recovery meetings at Santa Cruz Bible Church. Our desire is to encourage others to develop a deeper relationship with God through meaningful worship.
The Santa Cruz Celebrate Recovery Band / JZM Worship Team’s heart for ministry is regularly demonstrated at local benefit concerts, churches, missions, jails and prisons. The team’s main vocalist, Jen Miller, leads worship at events for her home church and other churches outreach events as well. God has gifted Jen with the ability to compose original songs that reflect her desire to invite others to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. The fruit of this blessing is a professionally produced CD that the worship team released in 2005. Thousands of people are being blessed and lives are being changed as the Lord is glorified through this unique collection of worship music. It is our hope that you will be blessed as well.
