Worship Collective
Psalm 34:1-3 “I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.”
WHO ARE WE?
KCU’s Worship Collective is a group of students who lead KCU’s campus in God-glorifying worship chapel services and special events on and off campus. This auditioned group of musicians and singers meet together regularly for prayer, fellowship, Bible study, Life Group, and musical rehearsals as they prepare to honor the Lord and serve their campus community through worship.
“Being a part of the Worship Collective has taught me the true meaning of worship. How worship is everything we do every single day. God deserves all of our praise because He is so good. The thing I love most about Collective is the people I get to worship Jesus with. I am so thankful for the friendships and memories I have made with the Collective family.” -Alyssa Howie, KCU Alumni
“Worship collective has helped me see what leading worship is truly about while also educating me on the many components that make a worshipful environment happen. I have been apart of Collective for 3 years now and every year has been so fulfilling. I have had the opportunity to make incredible friendships that now feel like family. I now work as a part-time worship minister, and I constantly use the things that collective has taught me at the church where I serve. Collective truly has been crucial to my faith and ministerial development and I couldn’t be more thankful to be apart of this family ministry“ – Cade Seckman, Junior Bible and Ministry Major
“Collective has taught me what true worship looks like. I have been a worship leader for a while now, and it wasn’t until I stared at KCU that I learned what being a worship leader actually meant. I have learned humility and that a good leader is a servant first. I’m so thankful for Collective, because without it, I wouldn’t be who I am today. The best part about Collective is that it’s a family and we get to laugh, sing, pray and worship together daily. It’s my favorite.” -Caroline Berry, KCU Alumni
KCU Worship Collective members are able to choose from a wide variety of degree programs, including Bible and Ministry, Advanced Biblical Studies, Business Administration, Teacher Education, Biology/Pre-Professional, Counseling Psychology, History/Pre-Law, Social Work, and Nursing.

“Being in the Collective changed me for the better in many ways. Not only did I learn how to truly worship God and grow closer to Him, I also learned practical music skills, and how to work on a team. My teammates brought me closer to Christ and encouraged my growth in my music that I couldn’t have gotten anywhere else. I am forever grateful for KCU’s Worship Collective.”
