RELATIONAL
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one Body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:15
We strive to be relational in two ways. First, we want our worship not only to glorify God vertically, but also to reach the Church horizontally. We want to be relevant in our communication of God’s love and grace through song. In short, we seek to enter into God’s presence, not just put on a show for people. Secondly, we strive to build strong relationships with one another. We desire a strong sense of community among the choir membership. We will be intentional about praying for one another, meeting together socially outside of rehearsal, and deepening the common ground we all have in Christ.
EXCELLENT
“Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord, rather than men.” Colossians 3:23
We strive to do everything with quality. We sing, rehearse, listen, focus, and perform to the best of our abilities; not for the approval and praise of others, but for the glory of the Lord.
AUTHENTIC
“So as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.” Colossians 3:12, 13
We are who we say we are. Each one of use claims to be a Christian. Therefore, let us live to honor Christ. This means being committed to a lifestyle of worship that includes prayer, bible study, and church attendance. It also means being kind, having a good attitude, and encouraging other believers.
LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
“For all who are being led by the Spirit, these are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14
We seek the hand of God, both in our personal lives and as a group of believers. We pray for sensitivity to God’s Spirit and His leading. We rely on Him. We sing to Him. With His Word as our guide, we expect from Him. We fully grasp that worship is not about us.
