About Us

Karis Worship is a ministry of Karis Lab, backed by First Baptist Church of Asheville. We stand on a shared foundation of grace, deep theological grounding, and a commitment to providing spiritually anchored, beautifully simple resources that nurture faith across all of life’s stages.

Funded through Lilly Endowment’s Nurturing Children in Worship and Prayer grant, Karis Worship blends artistry and liturgy to meet the unique needs of worship leaders and their congregations.
