Worship Style

Our Worship is Biblical

... in that it is shaped by the movement of God's redemptive story in Scripture. Each week our worship takes us through God's story of redemption so that our lives become patterned into His story. Worship enables us to bring our lives to God, re-enter His story of redemption, and be dismissed as redemptively-shaped people going out into the world. Specifically, that means that our worship moves from preparation to adoration to confession to proclamation to dedication.

Our Worship is Liturgical

... in that it practices the rhythm of the Christian calendar. As we move through the year, our worship moves us through the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time. In conjunction with the seasons we use the traditional liturgical colors.

Our Worship is Joyful

... in that we are a community of people whose worship is celebratory. Our focus is on our Triune God of grace, the glorious riches of the gospel, and the worthiness of God to be magnified.. We believe our forms of worship give us avenues of celebrating God's work in the world and in our lives with heart-felt joy.
