Foundational Values of Worship

    • Worship is central to the life of a disciple and thus to the life of our congregation as well.
    • Worship is a significant component of what it means to be “A Community Following Jesus.”
    • God deserves the very best that we can offer in the 335 worship services we provide each year.
    • In keeping with our Lutheran heritage, music plays a vital role in worship. Martin Luther was himself a musician, who sang (in a tenor voice), played the lute, and composed tunes. For Luther, music was next in importance to theology, a living voice of the Gospel, a gift from God to be used in all its fullness in Christian praise and prayer.
    • Providing spiritual inspiration is a key aspect of worship service development and execution.
    • Providing opportunities for disciples to sing together as a congregation and to utilize their musical gifts is also a key aspect of worship service development and execution.
    • The primary role of Trinity’s choirs and praise teams is to help lead congregational singing.
    • A secondary function of the celebrating core’s efforts is to attract new disciples to an active life of worship of Jesus Christ.
