What We Believe About Worship
We worship through singing as a response to who God is and what He has done for us in Christ. Our songs help us remember The Gospel, express our joy and sorrow before the Lord, and boldly declare that Jesus reigns. When we sing together, we are shaped by God’s Word, strengthened in faith, and invited to join the story of God’s redemption for the world.

What We Sing
We are intentional about the songs we sing in worship because our singing is both a response to God and a means by which God shapes His people. Each week, our goal is to sing songs that are clear, compelling, and doctrinally sound, so that our worship faithfully reflects the truth of Scripture and draws our hearts toward Christ.
Clear
We choose songs with clear language and biblical imagery so the message of what we sing can be easily understood by the whole congregation. When the truth is clear, our singing becomes a meaningful act of worship that draws us more deeply toward Christ.
Compelling
We choose songs that stir our affections and awaken within us a greater desire to know and follow Jesus. Compelling songs move us beyond routine or familiarity and invite us to respond to God with joy, reverence, repentance, and trust. Our aim is that our singing would encourage us to seek Christ more wholeheartedly and pursue Him more passionately.
Doctrinally Sound
We are committed to singing songs that are firmly rooted in the Word of God and faithful to the truths taught throughout Scripture. Doctrinally sound songs teach us what to believe about God, remind us of the gospel, and guard our worship from drifting into error. As we sing truth together, our faith is strengthened and our lives are shaped by what God has revealed about Himself.
Digital Hymnal
Our song selections can be previewed through our Spotify Digital Hymnal and weekly playlists. Above all, our desire is to choose songs that reaffirm the Scripture preached each week and point people to Christ, regardless of musical style or genre.
