WORSHIP ARTS

  • Giving thanks and singing.
  • Telling and making known.
  • Rejoicing.
  • Remembering and sacrificing.

Each of these actions is a part of worshiping God. The word worship derives from “worth-ship”; literally, it means to recognize and respect the value of something, to acknowledge or honor its true worth. Worship is our response to God as He reveals the truth of who He is - His power, goodness, holiness, and mercy. In worship we echo God’s glory - His beauty, brightness, greatness - back to Him and to one another and the world around us, like a mirror reflecting a light (2 Corinthians 4:6). Worship is not something we initiate; it is the heart’s reply to God’s self-disclosure through the person of Jesus. God reveals and we respond.

The Bible makes clear that worshiping God is not a matter of ceremony, habit, or ritual, but of whole life change. True worshipers, Jesus explained, worship God “in spirit and truth” (John 4:23). As God’s truth penetrates our spirits, we are changed and respond with lives that continually glorify Him (Romans 12:1). While this response is deeply personal, worship is not a private matter between me and God. It doesn’t happen in isolation. Instead we are called to come together to seek the Lord corporately, encourage each another, and remind ourselves of what is true about Him and us (Psalm 149:1; Hebrews 10:25; Ephesians 5:19-20).

The Sunday morning Gathering at PCC is designed to help each of us do just that - to connect with our Creator in spirit and truth, and engage in the practice of worship in a meaningful way. Facilitating corporate worship is the responsibility of the Worship Arts Ministry, which exists to unleash the power of the creative arts to bring glory to God and encouragement to the church. The Worship Arts Ministry includes Production Teams that oversee areas including:

  • up-front roles like Music, Drama, Dance, Visual Arts and Media Production
  • behind-the-scenes functions such as Stage Setup and Set Design/Construction
  • technical arts like Sound Engineering, Lighting Production, and Video Presentation

Whether you have experience or an ability to share in one of these areas, or you’re simply looking for a place to serve, there is a place for you in the Worship Arts community. No superstars allowed - only servants. For more information contact Brad Wallace at 231-9482 or bwallace@visitparkside.com
