Austin Ridge Worship
focus on Jesus with worship that is welcoming, engaging, and free from distractions
One of the first things you’ll experience on a Sunday morning, is getting to sing to and about Jesus; Who he is, what he’s done, and the difference that makes in our lives!
Our worship teams at each campus are made up of people who are passionate about helping others connect with God through music. They work each week to create an environment that is welcoming, engaging, and free from distractions, so the focus stays on Jesus.
If you have a heart for worship and would like to serve on one of our teams, we'd love to connect with you. Check out the audition information below to learn more.
Auditions
We’re looking for musicians and vocalists to join the worship team at all campuses! Whether you’ve been leading worship for years or simply want to serve, auditions are the starting point to get connected and be part of a team that helps lead our church in worship each week. If you sing or play guitar, keys, drums, bass, or another instrument, we hope you’ll sign up!
Resources
ARW exists to equip our church with songs to sing to the Lord together. We aim to write songs that proclaim who Jesus is, what he’s done, and how the good news of the gospel changes us.
We hope these songs help you know Jesus more, grow in knowledge of him, and serve one another for his glory.
ARW Kids
ARW Kids is a new way for us to share music that reflects how God is moving at the Ridge, specifically through the kids in our church!
Ridge Students Worship
RSW is a new way for us to engage with the next generation in music that is founded on God’s word and reflects His movement in our student ministry!

Mark Hail
Worship Pastor
Dripping Springs
Mark grew up a pastor’s kid in Kentucky. The church has always been a special place to him, but God is constantly showing and teaching him more about His Church. When he was 15 years old, he knew that God was calling him into full-time ministry; he just didn’t know where God would take him. A year later, he picked up a guitar and has now been leading worship for over 20 years. He met his wife, Sarah, at their previous church in Houston. They have four amazing kids: Jackson, Aubree, Micah, and Sawyer. They love life, music, and playing outside. Mark started at Austin Ridge on March 1, 2020. It has been an interesting season, but he has seen God move in such amazing ways. They are excited about this next season and can’t wait to see what God is going to do next.
