We Glorify God in Worship

Come and Worship

Psalm 96:1, 3, 9
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. Worship the Lord in the splendour of his holiness.

Romans 12:1
I urge you, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship.

Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in your richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

Worship sets the church apart. Other organizations can give you a social network. Others provide services to people in need. The church's unique activity is worship. We bring praise to the One who made us and loves us and saves us in Christ. We pray. We hear a message from the Bible. You can't do that anywhere else.

At Christ Community Church you'll notice an emphasis on "the ministry on the Word". Every service includes a Bible-based message. And while the grownups listen to that, the children are invited to Kid's Life to hear Bible stories and lessons in words they understand. Our services also include the Christian sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper — they link us to the very beginnings of Christianity.

Worship, by definition, is about God. We praise God. We pray to God. We offer our gifts to God. Worship is not like a concert performance with an audience of thousands. There is an audience on Sunday morning, and it's "an audience of one" — God. At the same time, we believe, worship should be rooted in the lives of those who gather. Our worship should reflect us.

While we respect traditions of worship that formed over many years, we want to worship in ways that are meaningful for people in our city in our time. At CCC we encourage the use of many gifts in worship. Musicians, singers, service leaders — each one plays a part. If you have gifts that can be used in worship, we encourage you to share them.
