Our worship seeks to be cross-cultural yet flowing out of our Reformed tradition. This means that we understand God to be the audience of our worship. We seek to please Him. Our understanding of the "Regulative Principal of Worship" is that all that we can do in worship must be biblical. We believe that we are to be courageous to use all of ourselves in worship, so we follow the teachings of the Psalms to use our bodies in such things as clapping, raising our hands, shouting and dancing.
The Psalms teach us to use instruments and to call on everything that has breath to praise the Lord. We do not think that being truly Reformed means to only use a Northern European 16th century cerebral style and functional order to worship God.
These selections are from James Ward's album,
"Life and Health and Peace"

Our music is eclectic and often unique since many of our songs have been written here. We use James Ward songs, Black Gospel music, charismatic praise songs and traditional hymns. We value our Reformed heritage and see it as part of the treasure of the Kingdom of God. We use many different song leaders, and emphasize piano, electric instruments and drums. We use praise teams, ensembles, and the choir at various times. We are concerned about the racial and cultural mix of all of our worship services. We pursue a building momentum of the worship and seek strong Biblical preaching.
