Music & Worship

At the heart of our Christian journey is the time we regularly spend together in worship: the time we spend in authentic connection with God and with each – praising, praying, singing, speaking, listening.  With multiple worship venues and four distinctive “styles” of worship every weekend, WC has a place for you.  

​When we gather together to worship, we are expressing both an adoration and reverence for the Lord. Worship can take place both inside and outside of the church, and through technology, art, vocally and more! Through these provided tools below, you have access to our worship services, opportunities to get involved in worship and music, and other ways you can experience the presence of Jesus from anywhere!
"Music can change the world, because it can change people."
