A Worship Associate is part of a worship team and each Associate works with support.  Approximately one month prior to their chosen service, the Associate and Minister each contribute personal reflections and research. The Associate is responsible for writing significant portions of the Sunday service. During the second year, an Associate may be responsible for cooperatively creating an entire service for a guest speaker or giving the sermon.

Over the course of 20 years, approximately 50 past Associates include a diversity of people. They have brought the richness of their life experiences, with the perspective of their race, age, sexual orientation and gender identity. Associates have included those who were in high school, university students, parents with young children, those who are retired, and our elders.
