Each Worship Associate assists the minister in planning, preparing and presenting the Sunday morning worship. Each Worship Associate conducts approximately 6-8 services each year. Some experienced Worship Associates may also work with speakers besides the minister. Finally, a Worship Associate may also have opportunities in the summer to be Worship Leader where they would craft the central message (sermon) and work with another Worship Associate supporting the liturgy.

Together, members of the Worship Associates Team meet monthly to 1.) reflect intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually on each month’s themes and share ideas for upcoming services; 2.) Engage in experiential learning opportunities to understand the art and intention of worship theory, design and practice; 3.) logistical planning regarding putting together the congregational Sunday and Vesper worship.
