Serve together with Us

Our Parish

We are a both-and kind of church. Our worship is both ancient and modern at the same time. We seek to have both a strong personal relationship with God and a faith that leads us to be agents of God’s love and justice in a broken world.

Our faith is balanced and holistic. We celebrate what the Spirit of God has been doing throughout the churches globally and across time. Our worship blends elements from the evangelical, charismatic, and catholic traditions.

This means leading music at Incarnation comes with a lot of artistic freedom. Music leaders are able to source music for single service from wide variety of traditions.

We are a newer, growing parish with a heathy number of volunteers serving in the music ministry. Our average Sunday attendance is currently between 100-120.

We are an intergenerational church with lots of kids (probably a third of the church is under 18). We are working to become a more ethnically diverse congregation. We hope our congregation and our worship will increasingly reflect the beautiful diversity of the city we love.

If you have questions about leading music at Incarnation, if you think you might be a good fit, or if you know someone who might, please email ministry[at]incarnationatl.org
