Today we are joined by worship pastor and songwriter, Chris Douglas. Chris is the worship pastor at National Community Church, in Washington, D.C., and is passionate for Jesus and His kingdom. Chris’s music is born out of the worship life of the local church. Chris’s love for music led him to Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester, VA, where he earned a BFA in Musical Theatre. During our conversation, we discuss turning prayers into songs, how to be vulnerable in our worship, and detail NCC’s latest release, The Jesus Way.
