WORSHIP

We glorify God when we worship him and we want to develop and grow the worshipping life of the church. We thank God that we have a gifted worship leader and a small group of  musicians who regularly lead us. We want to encourage others with music gifts to use them and to identify and train new worship leaders. We want to explore and improve how we engage with children, youth and families in  worship and services.

Church Services: We want our church services to be accessible and inclusive of all ages where appropriate, and for the audio and visual systems to work well to help that end. Training and encouragement for those who lead and preach will be important, but also the worship team will need to expand as we will need    people to help operate the equipment. We want our children to be visible because they are an important part of the church family. To help  that we can explore the furniture and resources we have for the children.

Music: To help aid our worship we have introduced screens to integrate with an upgraded sound system. We hope to identify new musicians, singers and sound desk operators. Being open to training we need to help resource our worship team members to attend conferences and technical training to develop their gifting. Our mainstay of worship will have a contemporary feel but that will not stop us embracing more traditional worship on occasions.

Teaching & preaching: We will seek to teach about worship and why we do it the way we do, seek out and offer training on all age services, include sermon notes on news sheet, develop & encourage good preaching, invite visiting speakers.
