Sarah's Story

"I want the next generation to know and worship Him." Sarah J. Rijfkogel

A Legacy of Worship

A Legacy of Worship

Studio33:3 is a state-of-the-art recording studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan, dedicated to developing and empowering the next generation of worship leaders. Inspired by Sarah J. Rijfkogel’s life and legacy, the studio provides a space for worship, music production, and connection with God. Studio33:3 exists to inspire creativity and collaboration among worship leaders worldwide.

The daughter of Pastors Sam and Brenda Rijfkogel, Lead Pastors of Grand Rapids First, Sarah’s devotion to worship and desire to make God’s name known through song are the inspiration and vision behind Studio33:3. She first sensed God’s call on her life to minister through music at the age of 12 at a family camp.

God gave her the life verse of Psalm 33:3, “Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.” After that encounter with the Lord, worship was her passion and way of life. 

Sarah’s life symbol was the ellipsis (…), which symbolizes that her story continues, and through Studio33:3, it does.
