Marsha Wagner - Sunday July 19th to Friday July 24th

Her heart beats for creating spaces where believers can experience God’s presence through His Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Every song is chosen with prayerful sensitivity, because worship is more than music, it’s a moment to repent, receive, and be restored by God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Marsha’s personal testimony is a powerful reminder of God’s grace. She has faced death multiple times, yet each time the Lord saved her and gave her a song to keep glorifying His name. This gift of life and music fuels her passion to lead with authenticity and humility, never forgetting that her musical talent is a gift from God to be stewarded for His glory.
Her desire is simple yet profound: to see hearts transformed, chains broken, and lives surrendered to Jesus. Through worship, Marsha seeks to cultivate an atmosphere where people don’t just sing, they encounter the living God.
