Worship is central to who are as the people of God.
We are a “chosen race, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession,
that we may proclaim the excellencies
of Him who called us out of darkness
into His marvelous light.”
1 Peter 2:9
our convictions
We allow God’s Word to dictate every aspect of our congregational worship. Every song we sing, every scripture we read, every prayer we pray is planned with the proclamation of God’s Word in mind. It is our hope that every heart will be readied to respond to the Spirit of Christ as He speaks through His Word. We aspire to honor and obey the scriptures in their instruction to teach and admonish one another; singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody with our hearts, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16) Finally, we aim to employ a broad spectrum of artistic expression in worship in an effort to honor the glorious character of our great God and inspire the worship of His people with reverence and awe. (Hebrews 12:28)
In the pursuit of all these goals, we employ thoughtful visual imagery, extensive scripture reading, prayers of all kinds, as well as a broad variety of music in worship. We employ instrumental accompaniment of both traditional and contemporary style. We celebrate the rich treasury of historic Christian hymnody we have inherited from generations past and combine it with the broadening repertory of modern hymns and worship song being written today. The intentional blending of all these aesthetic and artistic elements insures that our worship appeals and, more importantly, ministers to every member of our church. Our collective worship is the ministry of all God’s people unto Him for HIS glory. So we strive to encourage and engage every saint in their spiritual service unto HIM. (Romans 12:1, 1 Corinthians 14:26)
