Worship

 
“Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.”
—Psalm 95:6

Worship is the central and supreme activity of believers to God. As the high point of our week, FCF seeks a service that will accomplish these goals:

Glorify God
Worship is giving God what He is due. We offer Him our praise, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and power. True worship is not passive or spectator-oriented but is an active, wholly engaging, dynamic service where participants bring their very best offerings to God. We expect believers to come ready to give God what He is due.
Revelation 5:11,12; Psalm 29; Psalm 115:1

Center on Christ
We can only approach God through the sacrifice and mediation of His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus' atoning sacrifice on our behalf and His constant intercession for us allow us to boldly approach God as our Father. In worship we celebrate this love of Jesus Christ. We must take care to ensure that all our worship comes under the scrutiny of God's Word as we depend on the Holy Spirit to guide us, for God seeks worshippers who worship Him in spirit and truth. To worship God in truth not only demands Biblical conformity in the service but also fully committed lives throughout the week.
Revelation 5; Hebrews 9:11-14; Hebrews 10:19-22; John 4:2

Edify Believers
We seek to create an atmosphere where people can meet God and give Him glory. This involves the process of becoming intimate with God. This demands that worshippers understand the beauty and character of God and receive consistent instruction in order to avoid mindless ritualism. As we bring God authentic worship He will comfort, convict, strengthen, and encourage His people in their relationship and obedience to Him.
1 Corinthians 14; Psalm 42; Psalm 29

Welcome Visitors
True worship is evangelistic and invites outsiders to experience a heavenly moment. We want visitors to see the power and presence of God as they witness believers wholly engaged in authentic, joyful worship, see transformed lives, hear God's word expounded in meaningful terms, and witness the reconciliation of diverse people worshipping in unity. We want visitors to find that regardless of one's race or social status, God extends, through His body, a warm welcome to become part of His fellowship.
Acts 2; 1 Corinthains 14:24,25; Matthew 11:28-30
