We worship with others regularly.
God wants to refresh you. Worshipping with others helps to knit us into a faith community.
Developing quality worship may lead to spiritual, missional, and numerical growth by deepening faith, inspiring action, and attracting others.
Spiritually, engaging worship—through music, preaching, and prayer—draws people into a deeper encounter with God.
Missionally, worship shapes disciples who live out their faith, responding to themes of justice, compassion, and service.
Numerically, a church with joyful, authentic, and welcoming worship naturally attracts visitors and encourages them to stay.
When worship is spiritually rich and relevant, it transforms lives, strengthens the church’s witness, and builds a growing community where people encounter God and are sent out to make a difference.
