How Do We Worship?
We invite you to join in on a dynamic worship experience that will change you and draw you closer to God. Our worship is vibrant, enthusiastic, and passionate while at other times is may be more worshipful with quiet waiting – all for the purpose of bringing us into the presence of our Lord. Our music styles are blended traditional, southern gospel, and contemporary. Even though we try to select favorites that people enjoy, our primary focus is to select music that increases the Holy Spirit’s presence in our congregation. God has made us with differing personalities. As we worship in as spirit of unity, we should remember that each of our expressions of worship to God are reflections of our individual personalities and should not bring undue attention to ourselves as we worship together collectively. People have worshipped various ways throughout the ages. Here are a few scriptural expressions of how to enter worship:
