Heaven comes near
when we lift His name
Worship is more than music — it's our whole life turned toward Jesus. Through song, sound, movement and art, we create space for students to encounter the living God and respond with everything they are.

The worship ministry
A generation that lives to worship
We believe worship is the response of the whole person to the worth of God. It's the song in the car, the hands raised at midnight, the painting on the canvas, the heart that says “yes” to Jesus. Our ministry exists to lead UC San Diego into authentic, Spirit-led encounter — every week and every day.
Whether you sing, play, dance, design, run sound, or simply love to be in the room — there's a place for you here. We disciple worshipers, not just performers, and we build teams that pursue excellence and humility together.
