guiding principles of worship

Worship is a dialogue:
We should worship God through prayer and praise. This is how God reveals his character and acts.

Worship is focused on Christ:
When we worship, we are connecting with Jesus.

Worship is contemporary:
We should work to make our worship match the time we are in. We don't want to play too many old songs.

Worship is traditional:
Although we should be careful not to overdo it, we should incorporate hymns and some old songs to appeal to the older generations.

Worship is wholistic:
We need to engage our whole selves during worship, including our intellect, emotions, senses and body.

Worship is participative:
We need to be inclusive in our worship, involving everyone in our congregation.

Worship is inclusive:
We should strive to include all kinds of people, no matter how old or what background they have.

Worship is a balance:
It's a balance between the transcendence and immanence of God.
