We are Kingdom Seekers
Kingdom Seekers Worship Team is a worship team full of adults (with a degree/pursuing a degree), who are passionately pursuing the Lord with our everything. We believe in the movement of the Holy Spirit and leading worship that is Spirit Filled that directly leads people into the throne room of the Lord. Our hearts are for intimacy and relationship with Jesus. We believe worship is not a performance but simply about the Holy Spirit. Our hearts are to lead pure worship that brings people back to Jesus. Matthew 6:33 is our foundation scripture; click the button below to read more about our Kingdom Seekersfoundations and beliefs.
FOUNDER/TEAM INFO
Kingdom Seekers Founder/Owner,
Team Manager
Worship Pastor and Pianist, Songwriter, and Speaker.
Pastor Carissa Pierce
Carissa is the owner and manager of Kingdom Seekers Worship Ministries as she takes care of all organizing/marketing. Carissa has been honored to serve the Lord and worship Him with her everything for many years. She has been in music and worship since she was four years old and accepted Jesus as her savior when she was a child. The Lord made Himself real to Carissa at a kid's camp altar worship. Carissa encountered the Lord and was baptized with the Holy Spirit at just ten years old. From that very moment, she has been striving to have a close relationship with the Heavenly Father.
When she was 13 years old, God met her at an altar and told her what He wanted her to be; ever since, she has been pursing this call to become a worship evangelist and spread revival worship through America and, eventually the world. This vision God gave to her when she was 13 has been a journey of many ups and downs, but God has always led and guided her through it. Recently she just graduated from college and felt God tell her to move forward with this worship team and lead worship for others. Carissa looks up to her dad, Pastor Dewayne Pierce, who served as a credentialed minister through the assemblies of God for many years. Sadly, Carissa's Father passed away in November of 2021, but she desired to continue the call and heart for God that He had. God has made himself more real than anything to her, and through this journey, God has shown her new ways of intimate, close worship. Carissa looks forward to the many doors that ONLY God can open and is honored to be an obedient servant to the Lord.
​
Carissa leads worship vocally and through piano. Her heart is driven by the Lord to bring people back to intimacy with Jesus through pure worship that brings people right into the throne room of God. Carissa believes in seeking first the Kingdom and everything else will come! This is exactly where the founding of Kingdom Seekers began and now Carissa is the Owner and Manager. Carissa specializes in worship which is a focus of her Ministry Leadership Bachelor's Degree from the University of Valley Forge.
