Worship is the celebration of the gospel

 

A. Worship of the triune God is the Church’s first reasonable response to the saving power of the gospel, and therefore its first corporate calling. (Rom. 12:1)

B. Biblical worship can only be in and through Christ, and the attention and affection of true worshipers is always anchored to His saving work on the cross.

C. We believe that worship should be regulated according to Scripture.

D. We believe that the worship service should strive to address both the minds and the hearts of the worshipers, bringing the life-changing truth of God’s word to bear in our lives. (Heb. 4:12)

E. We believe in the weekly celebration of the riches of God’s grace in the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. We believe in covenantal baptism.

F. We believe that a rich treasury of worship music, which is invaluable for use in worship, has been handed down to us from our forefathers in the faith. We believe it is also appropriate and wise for the church to sing sound, Biblical, contemporary songs in worship. (Eph. 5:19; Psalm 33:3)

G. We believe that in worship “all things should be done decently and in order.” (1 Cor. 14:40) We also believe that there should be freedom, joy, and expressiveness in worship. (Psalm 27:6; 1 Cor. 14:26)

H. We aspire to have active congregational participation in worship. Worship is not a congregation observing a performance like spectators at a show.

I. We believe that worship is for all members of God’s household - even children - and we not only allow them in the service but work to facilitate the meaningfulness of their worship experience.

J. We believe that worship is a way of life, not just something we do corporately on Sunday morning. It involves the deference to and enjoyment of God in every moment and activity of life. (Rom. 12:1-2)
