Worship

I ACT because . . . real love and relationship is shown through what we do and how we live our lives, not by what we say.

Hannah Carrier, ’22, had been helping lead worship for years by the time she started college, and it had become more of a duty to her than anything. She saw the Christian Leadership Scholarship as a way to step out and pursue her faith, assuming that would again mean being placed on the worship team. The Lord called her to the. Campus Missionaries Team instead. For the past 3 years, Hannah has been learning specific tools to share the Gospel and used them to witness to many people across campus. No singing, no leading, just studying and evangelizing. It was a break she didn't know she needed.

"I was burnt out on leading worship. It had become more like a responsibility than something I loved, but now I've gotten to spend 3 years developing other areas of my faith. It's been amazing," Hannah said, and her eyes lit up. " I have refound my passion for worship!"

She is singing on the worship team at Cumberlands now, but she has a newfound excitement for it. She understands the true purpose of worship. Hannah said, “Worship is a way for me to steward what I’ve been given. My ability to sing is definitely a gift from God, and worship is a way to use that to strengthen the church and grow His kingdom.”
