How We Minister

Vibrant, enthusiastic, and passionate!

 

“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.  God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
(John 4:23–24)

Services

Our services are designed to connect believers to Jesus and to each other with ample time given to lively and passionate praise and worship and to teaching that is full of the life of the Holy Spirit.  Our families enjoy fellowship and ministering to one another following our services.

Worship
Worship is one of our highest priorities in ministering to Jesus. With passionate praise and moments of deep intimacy with the Holy Spirit, our worship is designed to allow “heaven on earth”.  We never rush this portion of our service, because we know that worship invites Jesus  into our midst, and is essential in order for believers to “set their minds on things above.”  Time in the presence of Jesus is a critical element.  With honor given to waiting on the Holy Spirit, prophetic songs and inspirational words are often brought forth to encourage the body and facilitate personal and corporate times of prayer ministry.

Style
Our worship teams utilize contemporary music from many different mainstream worship leaders. 

Expression

The Bible is clear that worship and praise are connected to physical actions such as singing, shouting, dancing, lifting hands, and bowing down.  We encourage individual believers to express their love for Jesus with these types of physical actions during our worship.

Clapping our Hands

“Clap your hands, all you nations,  shout to God with cries of joy" 

(Psalms 41:1) NIV 

Standing When We Sing

“Then some Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up and praised the LORD, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.”

(2 Chronicles 20:19) NIV

Lifting Our Hands

“I will praise you as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands”.  

(Psalms 63:4) NIV  

“Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.”

(Psalms 134:2) NIV  

“Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.”

Having Loud Vocal Praise To God

“I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

 (Psalms 34:1) KJV

“And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God…”  

(Acts 4:24) NASB

Having Musical Instruments and Dance

“Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the Psaltery and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance. Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals:  Praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals.”

(Psalms 150:3-5) KJV

Praying or Singing in Tongues and Our Natural Languages

“For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.”  

(1 Corinthians 14:14-15)

Singing Choruses as well as Hymns 

“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns, and Spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”  

(Ephesians 5:18-19)

 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns, and Spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” 

(Colossians 3:16)

Worshiping in the Spirit

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.”

(John 4:23-24)  

“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh.” (Philippians 3:3)

Prophesying 

“Follow after charity, and desire Spiritual Gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.”

(1 Corinthians 14:1)  

“… The Lord God has spoken, who can but prophesy?”  

(Amos 3:8)  

“But he that prophesies speaks to men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.” 

(1 Corinthians 14:3)  

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal… To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy.” 

(1 Corinthians 12:7,10)

“For you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be comforted.” 

(1 Corinthians 14:31)

“Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.” 

(1 Corinthians 14:29)

Speaking With Tongues and Interpretation of Those Tongues

 “Wherefore brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.”  

(1 Corinthians 14:39)

 “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal… To another divers kinds of tongues: to another the interpretation of tongues.”  

(1 Corinthians 12:7,10) 

“I would that you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you prophesied: for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he that interpret, that the church may receive edifying.”                          

(1 Corinthians 14:5)

“If any man speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course, and let one interpret.”

Having the Whole Church Pray at Once for Specific Needs.  

“And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, Thou art God, which hast made heaven and earth…”           

(Acts 4:24)

Anointing

With Oil and Praying for the Sick.  “Is there any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.”         (James 5:14,15)  

Teaching

With a tenacious commitment to Scriptural integrity and Biblical accuracy, our Bible teachers convey the Word of God with passion and deep understanding. We have a heart to see the body understand how to apply Scripture to daily living in order to become mature believers who are grounded in the truth of God’s Word.  As the living and active Word is taught, the congregation can expect a timely, seasoned, and balanced message which the Holy Spirit will confirm in each heart as the Truth resonates.

(Matt. 12:36; Col. 3:16; James 3:1)

Prayer

Our prayer ministries are marked by the supernatural presence of the Lord, and worship is a central element. From worship flows prayer that comes from the Father’s heart, and positions us to hear what God is saying.  Our desire is to partner with what the Father is doing and release His miraculous power into every situation.

(Matt. 6:10; Matt. 7:7; Matt. 18:19; Matt. 21:22; Mark 16:17-18; John 16:23)

Holy…It’s just how we roll!
