Get Your Worship On

The worship of Jesus is probably the most important thing that happens at emanate. We love to start every night creating space for His presence so we can draw close to Him and worship Him. We have two main worship leaders who, along with others, help make that happen every Monday night.

Chris McClarney

Maybe best known for his songs "Your Love Never Fails" and "Your Love Is Everything" covered by the Redding-based Jesus Culture youth movement, Chris has been leading worship for over 16 years. He lives here in Franklin with his wife Jasmine, and two young daughters, and has been the worship pastor at Grace Center for the last seven years. Chris describes his worship style as simple, happy, and intimate. Bill Johnson has this to say about Chris, "Chris McClarney is one of the most refreshing voices in this present move of God. I love all that he does". You can listen to his stuff on iTunes.

Michaela McLaird

Michaela grew up in a family that placed a high value on worship.  Though formally trained on the piano, she absorbed much by osmosis as she grew up surrounded by influential worship leaders and songwriters. In 2008, she enrolled in the school of ministry at Bethel Church in Redding, California, and after a year leading worship under the guidance of Brian and Jenn Johnson, Michaela returned to Grace Center and began serving on the worship team for emanate. She is a passionate and anointed worship leader having spent years in the secret place - just her, God, and the piano.
