Philosophy of Ministry - Worship (extract)
Worship – We view worship as the act of
glorifying God by living for him as the only One who is worthy. Worship in song
includes our voices and hearts. An important, specific form of worship occurs
when believers assemble together for the express purpose of glorifying God in
his presence corporately. In this setting, we believe it is imperative
that the congregation not be passive spectators but rather active participants
in the worship service. This is accomplished by congregational singing as well
as congregational participation in corporate prayer, scripture reading,
communion, and the offering of our tithes and gifts.
We encourage the use of vocal, musical, and technical gifts with excellence within our corporate worship services for the purpose of highlighting the infinite worthiness of God. We reject pretense and posturing in worship and pursue an atmosphere of authentic personal and corporate encounter with God. Our worship, driven by the good news of salvation in Christ, should reflect the joy, reverence, richness, and power of our salvation and union with the Triune God in its tone and attitude. We prioritize the truths of Scripture in our lyrical choices so that we treasure God’s powerful Word and worship him in both spirit and truth. We view songs, old and new, that reflect this philosophy as a valuable part of our Christian heritage.
