Our Core Values statement includes the following:
We believe that the Chrisitan life begins and ends in worship to God. We believe our worship of God leads us to respond to His grace in love for Him and our neighbors. Worship is also the end to which our service leads, as we call others to faith in Christ in order that they too may worship Him.
Isaiah 6: 1-8
Isaiah's Vision of the LORD
1In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3And one called to another and said;
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"
4And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the hourse was filled with smoke. 5And I said; "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7And he touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for. 8And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." | It is our conviction that God alone as He is revealed in his word and especially in His Son is worthy of our worship. He has created us, purchased us as his treasured possession, and adopted us as His people in order that we might praise His great name.
We believe God blesses His people richly when they gather to worship Him. Therefore, we believe public worship is a great privilege and responsibility, and is necessary for our spiritual well being and Christan growth.
We believe our worship should be biblical, God-centered, reverent, joyful and consisten with the theology of our Reformed heritage.
