Worship
- How long is your Sunday worship gathering?
- Worship gatherings are 75 -90 minutes long
- What should I expect in worship?
- Worship often starts with with a video, media presentation, or song and a welcome by our worship host to set the stage for our worship. The worship host introduces our focus for the day.
Then the band leads some songs. Then someone will share a few announcements. We usually take a minute to say hello to people nearby This may be followed by a video or drama then I'll share a message. The messages are practical, creative and Biblical and usually are a part of a series of messages.
There may be a time of reflection. Then our band then leads a couple songs that allow us to response to God's message. After the message and response time, then we normally close the service with a high energy song.
