A worship band is a group of musicians who perform music during religious services, often in places of worship like churches. Their primary goal is to lead the congregation in singing and expressing their faith through music. Worship bands typically include instruments such as guitars, keyboards, drums, and sometimes strings, along with vocalists. These bands often play contemporary Christian music, which can include original songs and popular hymns. The music is designed to create an uplifting atmosphere, encouraging participation and enhancing the spiritual experience for attendees. Worship bands may also collaborate with church leaders to select songs that align with the service's theme.
