Our Statement of Faith
The Nature of Worship Corporate worship is the formal gathering of God's people in the court of the King of kings and Lord of lords. We come, as one body and many parts, to hear the voice of our God and to present ourselves to Him. Worship is to be God-centered.

to be enjoyed, understood, appreciated and used for His glory by promoting
His worship, upholding His laws and bringing the joy of salvation to
those experiencing it.
As
an integral part of worship, music is the congregation's primary opportunity
to express, both as a body and as individuals, it's heart. Music must
not draw attention to itself, the singer or musician, but must aid in
the delivery of the message. The music, words and instruments should
work together as a single expression that is consistent, both in style
and lyric, with the truth of Scripture, with our
