Music Director | Worship Leader - San Diego

Our worship services are liturgical: We pray together corporate prayers each week, follow the church calendar, and draw all these things from liturgies such as the Book of Common Prayer and other Reformed and global liturgies. Our worship services are sacramental:we celebrate the Lord’s Supper every Sunday. Our worship services value singing: within our liturgy, we sing songs ranging from historic hymns to modern worship music. Our worship services value engaging the whole person: we strive to participate fully—mind, body, spirit, and emotions. Our worship services are prayerful: in addition to our corporate prayers, we provide space for people to pray for one another, believing that the Holy Spirit leads and answers all kinds of prayer—praise, thanksgiving, help, healing, and confession.
