Hi, just looking out for some answers.

I am a beginner, mostly self-taught and have basic knowledge about major and minor chords and scales. I can play very simple pieces from the John Thompson Grade 1 book.

I want to be able to play in church well. Right now I just follow chords but it sounds very basic. Should I learn sheet music or just follow chords and improvise it? Also, would be very helpful if you could suggest YouTube channel or sources that could help me improve.

Would love and appreciate to hear your thoughts and opinions as I'm very passionate about this.
