Our Calling
Abiding Worship exists to cultivate worshippers who abide in Christ, create in response, and offer their gifts as an act of worship.
Because Jesus is our priority, students of all ages are discipled by godly instructors who are active in their own local churches. We grow in our technical abilities not for the sake of performance, but for the sake of finding exciting ways to create art that highlights the beauty of Christ. Students are actively encouraged to offer their unique creations to the Creator of all things.
We value heart-posture over perfection, because no offering is wasted when poured out at the feet of Jesus.
We would be honored if you chose to magnify the Lord with us.

Jake Scott
Founder & Creative Director
Jake is passionate about integrating creative arts with Christian discipleship, with a focus on fostering environments where people of all ages can encounter God through music, drama, and other forms of artistic expression. His journey in ministry has been shaped by cultivating intimacy with Jesus and a commitment to guiding others in using their creativity to glorify God.
Jake is an ordained minister who recently returned to his home state of Arkansas after serving for four years as a Worship Pastor in Seattle. He has had the privilege of leading worship in a variety of settings and for a variety of age groups. (He has spent 15 years volunteering in his local church’s kids’ ministry, but he promises that he doesn’t have a favorite age group.)
The transformative impact of Jake’s ministry is reflected in the testimonials of pastors, students, and friends who have worked with him.

Ruthie Quintero, Student
Under Jake’s leadership, I built a foundation for leading worship that I still fall back on today. He taught us the importance of leading worship from a heart full of Jesus, and that as we worship it is never just about our talents but giving all the glory to God.
Jacob Hess, Associate Pastor
Christ Church KOP
Jake leads with a pastoral presence that aids him in directing teams and encouraging the congregation to enter into heartfelt worship. He also has a deep gospel-centered theological foundation that brings depth to the services he plans and leads.
Michael Pasman, Worship Leader
The Bridge Community Church
Jake is someone who sees the gifts, abilities, and potential in people for the Kingdom of God. I was just a sixteen year old kid when Jake began investing in me…it set me on a trajectory that could have only been laid out by God, taking me to places I’d never had dreamed possible.
