We are called to awesome and wonderful God. We at the First Christian Church believe
worship is central in our relationship with God and with one another. Worship is the primary purpose of the
church. We believe worship to be vital to community, unity and wholeness - in our person, our family, our church. Worship
is the work of the people of God, the community of Christ.
Worship, in fact, springs
out of our personal and corporate life experience as we encounter the world and the Lord of history. Worship is not the product
or property of one person, but the expression of our common and unique praise, discovery and sharing. Worship is not a rigid
liturgy, but a changing, exciting, creative and healing experience with God and one another.
For
worship to be vital, alive, expressive and representative as a corporate experience, the worship must be carefully woven into
a tapestry of the life of the worshiping body of Christ. We must do all we can do to pray, seek the Word and express the Word
as we hear it from God. Worship, however, is not our property. Like most things in the spiritual realm, it is a gift of God.
Thus, the primary factor in worship is God the Holy Spirit - the Spirit's presence, favor, anointing and revealing. The
Holy Spirit has many human minds, emotions and hands through which to speak. Even as we create worshipful things, the Spirit
is speaking. Even as we remain silent, the Spirit groans for us.
At First Christian Church
the worship is not traditional, not contemporary, not charismatic, not liturgical. It is, we pray, biblical and then whatever
God makes it. We pray also that it speaks to God, speaks of God, and speaks God to us all.
