Karis Worship Press Release
First Baptist Church of Asheville has received a generous $1.25 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to establish Karis Worship, a digital Lectionary-based hub of intergenerational resources for collaborating congregations. The resources will be marked by accessible, inclusive, and theologically rich language, beautifully approachable music, and reflectively engaging artwork for the liturgical year. These resources will empower faith leaders who lead and plan worship to move their corporate worship toward greater accessibility and inclusion for children, creating an intergenerational environment that nurtures faith development for all involved.
