World Outreach Church is gearing up for its annual Fall Festival, a mix of worship, food trucks, outdoor baptisms, biblical messages and family fun.
The Saturday, Oct. 11, evening service should be especially memorable, as Christian artist Anne Wilson visits Murfreesboro to lead worship during the service and then stay on for a post-service concert. Festivities kick off at 4 p.m. with food trucks, children’s activities, games and fellowship, held at the outdoor sanctuary located on the east side of the WOC campus. A worship service begins at 6 p.m., followed by Wilson’s concert.
Known for tracks like “My Jesus” and “Sunday Sermons,” Anne Wilson has quickly become one of the most recognized new voices in contemporary Christian music. Her style blends modern worship with country and pop influences, creating powerful songs both personal and singalong-ready. After the Lexington, Kentucky, native earned a Dove Award for New Artist of the Year in 2022, she has tallied over 1 billion global streams, made her Grand Ole Opry debut, wrapped an entirely sold-out tour, was named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch and one of CMT’s Next Women of Country, and has appeared on Today.
“I love God,” Wilson says, “but I love country music, too.”
Attendees who prefer to stay indoors can watch via live feed within World Outreach Church’s Three Crosses Sanctuary.
Wilson will return to World Outreach the following morning, Sunday, Oct. 12, to lead worship at the 9:30 a.m. service.
The Oct. 18 Fall Festival installment will feature guest speaker Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. “Jerry” Boykin and musical guest Megan Woods. Both of these guests will return on Sunday morning, Oct. 19, for the 9:30 a.m. service.
Woods, originally from Massachusetts, is also making waves in the contemporary Christian and country crossover scenes with her soulful vocals, original music and worship leadership. She is currently featured on the Let It Begin Tour alongside Big Daddy Weave.
All of these events and activities are free and open to the community.
