This event is designed for those currently serving in the vocal, band, tech, host, and/or creative team...AND... it is PERFECT for anyone who has felt called to serve on one of our worship teams.

We will align ourselves with the worship ministry's purpose, principles, and practice as we kick off a new season together!

Take a look at the worship ministry teams to determine where you would like to begin or continue serving. Teams are open for adults and 6th-12th-grade students to serve.

VOCAL/CHOIR TEAM | vocalists and worship leaders
BAND TEAM | instrumentalists such as guitar, drums, keys, band, strings, and winds
TECH TEAM | technicians who operate cameras, lighting, and screens
CREATIVE TEAM | creatives such as photographers, artists, and visual designers
HOST TEAM | communicators who speak during live welcomes

Dinner will be provided. (Therefore, please limit your attendance to those who are only interested in serving.)

NOTE: We don’t plan to provide childcare, but if you have a situation that would prevent you from attending, please don’t hesitate to contact Kyley Myers. Additionally, please notify us if you have a food allergy.

RSVP today!

Please register by Friday, July 17, so we can place the food order.

First Step

New to Worthington Christian Church? Join Us for ’First Step’!

We believe the church is more than a place to attend on the weekend. It’s where community forms, lives are changed, and people encounter Jesus. We want you to feel like you belong here. That’s why we created "First Step."

During First Step, you’ll meet our team, hear the vision behind our church, and discover ways to move from attending to belonging—whether that’s joining a group, getting baptized, or serving alongside others.

📅 Mark Your Calendar:

Join us on Sunday, August 16, at 9:00 AM for ’First Step’! This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who is new (or mostly new) to our church family.

👥 What to Expect:

Led by Outreach Minister Jay Scott, this event offers a relaxed atmosphere where you can ask honest questions and engage in meaningful discussions. Whether you’re exploring faith or looking to connect with others, you’ll find a warm welcome here!

Parents, please feel free to utilize Kids Ministry programming if necessary.

RSVP Today!
