Worship

What is Spotswood Worship?

We believe that worship is the only appropriate response to God’s love and grace for His children. Worship is a holy action, centered in Christ and expressed biblically in a multitude of ways. God cares more about the focus of our worship than the form of our worship. We worship first with surrendered lives that seek to serve and glorify Jesus Christ — and all other forms of worship, including music, share the same focus.

Leadership

Grayson Perry

Grayson Perry is our Interim Worship Leader. Alongside the rest of the Spotswood Worship team, Grayson seeks to offer Biblical, Christ-centered, vertically focused worship to God and invite others to offer the same. Grayson has seen how worship that begins with a life surrendered to Jesus as a “living sacrifice” extends to worshiping God “in spirit and truth” (Romans 12:1 ; J ohn 4:23 -24).

Grayson was baptized at Spotswood in 2002 and returned home to Fredericksburg with his wife, Grace, in the spring of 2023. He has an MBA from Liberty University, works full-time in healthcare technology, and serves with Grace, at both Spotswood and Samaritan’s Purse.

Justin Smith

Justin P. Smith is the Director of Worship Technology with over 20 years of experience serving the local church, with the unique skills of music, video, and design to create immersive and engaging worship experiences.

He holds a Bachelor’s in Biblical Studies and a Master’s in Entertainment Business, bringing a combination of theological insight and creative expertise to his work. Psalm 33:3 is his guiding verse: “Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.”

Throughout the years I have served in the music ministry with the adult choir, the orchestra, the graded children’s choirs, handbells, and as organist, pianist, & keyboardist.
