Regarding style and presentation - we will value simplicity over opulence, and corporate participation over professional performance. So long as the standards above are met, no song is “too new”, neither is any song “too old” for us to use profitably for worship. Historic songs and classic hymns will be incorporated to keep us rooted in our heritage, reminding us of our connection with all worshipers down through the ages. Modern songs will be introduced slowly so that the congregation can learn them. Modern instrumentation fits our 21st century context well, while doctrinally rich and historically-rooted songs will be sung to help our congregation to worship in spirit and truth.Īll songs will be vetted for Scriptural fidelity, doctrinal clarity, and corporate singability. Our vision for worship music is to blend modern musical style and instrumentation with doctrinally rich songs and lyrics from all of Christian history.
This would be on a separate night of the week, and students will meet for biblical teaching, prayer, and small groups. Regarding ministry for middle and high school students, we aim to launch a student ministry within our first three to five years, as the Lord provides both students and leaders. During the main worship service, families would still be encouraged to worship together.

During this Equipping Hour, children will be split into age-specific groups and engage in a full Children’s Ministry Curriculum such as the Gospel Project, Praise Factory, or the New City Catechism. By year two, we hope to have built a large enough volunteer-base to launch our “Equipping Hour” which will run weekly, prior to the main worship gathering. We do still believe that there is value in age-specific programming. Infants and younger toddlers will be cared for by a team of volunteers, while older toddlers and preschoolers will have some age-appropriate games and activities while beginning to learn core truths of the Christian faith. This option will be available for children at their parents’ discretion. We believe that there is great beauty in the entire church gathering together, where children can see their parents worship and learn to worship alongside them.įrom day one, however, we plan to have a single children’s ministry option during the main worship gathering, for nursery to Pre-K (ages 0 to 4). To begin with, we will run a very “lean” ministry - prioritizing the gathered worship of the church, in a single service, for all ages.
