Worship Philosophy
-
Worship occurs in our daily lives, as well as during church services.
-
While excellence in preparation and presentation is vital, hearts yielded to the Holy Spirit and wired for people are paramount.
-
The primary singing/worshipping aggregation in the church is the entire congregation, engaging the audience of one, God.
-
All people qualify to receive God’s love and respond with worship, rooted in gratitude.
-
Worship experiences work well when the majority of parishioners have the opportunity to connect musically/artistically. This is especially true in a multigenerational, and/or multicultural setting.
-
A balanced artistic diet of multiple styles/expressions contributes to the perpetuation of valuable traditions as well as the inclusion of innovations that contribute to congregational growth and maturation.
