Worship Centre
Encouraging worship of the one Triune God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — shaped by Scripture, centred on the Gospel and expressed across languages, generations and church traditions.
More than music
Christian worship is the response of the whole life to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Singing is an important part of worship, but worship also includes prayer, Scripture, obedience, generosity, service and the gathered life of the Church.
Trinitarian
Worship the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as the one true God, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ at the centre.
Scripture-shaped
Let biblical truth form the language, themes and expectations of gathered worship.
Congregational
Choose music and practices that help the whole church participate, not only those on a platform.
Spiritually sincere
Seek authenticity, reverence, joy and love rather than simply reproducing a musical style.
