Gia Lucid

For New Jersey native Gia Lucid, leading worship and writing music is much more than a mere occupation. It’s a privilege and a calling. As a worship leader, Lucid aims to serve as a guide, leading people into a state of worshipping God rather than putting on a performance. She confesses that often times as she witnesses the congregation entering into worship, they in turn lead her in worship. “Corporate worship is almost like a taste of heaven. Gathering with the saints all singing in unity is a preview of what we’ll be doing before the throne for eternity,” she said. After mastering three self-taught chords at the innocent age of 12, Lucid began leading worship for her school chapels. Soon after, she moved onto children’s ministry followed by youth ministry and then adult worship at her home church, Calvary Chapel Old Bridge (CCOB). Now in her 20s, Lucid resides in Chino, California, and travels frequently, leading worship and sharing original songs for church services, retreats, conferences and anywhere else the Lord leads. She is also a worship leader and vocal director at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills as well as a vocalist and guitar player in the worship band, Scarlet Hope. Gia has written several songs and currently has one full -length album, Speechless and a Christmas EP entitled I Give You Jesus. While many of her songs deal with very personal subjects, she knows each song has been given to her for a reason and hopes people find her music relatable. “We’re all on a journey and we all hit bumps in the road. Many of the songs I’ve written were inspired by those bumps and how they’ve tripped me and how He’s been faithful to pick me up. If one of my songs encourages only one person to keep running the race, it’s enough. If one song draws one life closer to the Lord, it’s enough,” she said. For Lucid, being involved in music is not about fame but about serving the Lord and being willing to go wherever He leads encouraging and admonishing others in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs singing with grace in her heart to the Lord. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord
