Worship Ministry

Worship at Asbury offers a variety of opportunities for people to use their gifts and talents to help the congregation more fully experience the presence of God in our services. Whether you are a trained musician, play for fun, or have a spirit for creative communication, there is a place for you in helping us shape meaningful expressions of worship for the people of Asbury.


Worship ministry activities are gradually resuming as we return to in-person worship. Please contact the Ministry Directors or team leaders for information about rehearsal schedules or other ways to get involved with Asbury's Worship Ministries.
