WORSHIP DIRECTOR

Church Project began with a mission to RETHINK church and RETURN to the essence of leading, gathering and living the way Christ and the early church intended. Our intent is to be unashamedly BIBLICAL, irreducibly SIMPLE, understandably RELEVANT, and radically GENEROUS. We are an organism, not an organization. We believe that Christ changes lives, and that His church can be the most powerful influence of love and change on the planet. We want to change the way people see Christ, Christians, and the Church.
