WORSHIP GUIDE

Our Liturgy. Our Songs.

We follow a thoughtful and lively rhythm in our worship liturgy, where God speaks and we respond.

  • God Calls Us…On Sundays we go from being the church scattered to the church gathered. God our Creator and Redeemer always initiates worship, calling us into the presence of the Holy. We respond with joyous praise and celebration.

    God Cleanses Us…In the light of God’s love we are made painfully aware of our brokenness and deep need for healing. We confess our brokenness and need for healing and grace and hear words of assurance that the Gospel is first and foremost for sinners.

    God Consecrates Us…We learn what it means to follow God in the way of Jesus through reflecting on God’s story told in the Bible. It’s through Scripture that God’s Spirit consecrates us, forming and reforming us for the adventure of living in God’s Kingdom.

    God Communes with Us…Worship climaxes with the ancient Christian practice of communion, or the Eucharist, where we are united to Christ and one another through sharing a common loaf and a common cup.

    God Commissions Us…We are sent into the world to love and bless it and to make Jesus known, inviting others to follow Him.
    Our liturgy is a central part of our spiritual journey. This journey is about continually reorienting our lives, together and individually, around God’s call on our lives to be His representatives in the places we live, work and play. We do this based on and through the hope that comes from Jesus Christ, empowered by His life giving Spirit.

Participating each week in this alternating pattern of God’s words and our responses provides help for us today, but also shapes our faith over time to highlight the tenacity and graciousness of God’s covenant love. Worship not only expresses what we love, it shapes what we love.
