For the past four years, the ECMC Worship Team has come together to lead worship at the annual East Coast Missions Conference. Through their leadership, they have inspired many to join God’s mission to the nations.

Comprised of members from various churches across Northern Virginia, the team exemplifies the unity of the local church in service to the global church. As they lead worship, their primary goal is to gather people from all backgrounds to then go to serve the nations.
