All of us in the Worship & Fine Arts ministry share a common goal: to be "worshippers leading others to connect with God." This is foremost in our minds as we pick songs to sing, plan services, select drama material, rehearse together . . . and in almost everything we do.
We are worshippers first
We want to be people who worship God. Our first responsibility is to make sure that we are worshipping God, giving Him our best, and serving Him with a heart of love and devotion. It is only then that we can be ready to lead others along that same journey. Several scriptures clearly articulate our desire . .
We are worshippers leading others
Our ministry exists to help lead others to the throne room of God, and into His presence. So, as we worship, we then lead others and encourage them to go with us into God's presence . . . * Psalm 22:3 says that He inhabits the praises of His people.
* "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9)
We are worshippers leading others to connect with God
As we worship, then as we lead others in worship, our goal becomes one of connection with God. We try to plan services that are meaningful, full of energy, and ultimately point us in the direction of experiencing God in a fresh and relevant way. That may come through the words of the songs that we sing, or through a drama segment or video clip, or through the words of the sermon. But hopefully, we all leave with a sense of renewed purpose, direction, hope, strength, peace, joy, or trust in God.
So, that's why we do what we do. Whether you are interested in being a part of the Worship & Fine Arts ministry or just looking for more information about us, we hope this helps.
