Loving God, following Jesus Christ, and being guided by the Holy Spirit; living a life of discipleship

Invites others into a life of discipleship through evangelism, preaching, teaching, and witness.

 
 
 

Being called to ordained ministry by God and the Church

Cultivates a culture of call in one’s community of faith.

 
 
 

Understanding the power of the Holy Spirit at work through the elements of Christian worship to nurture faith.

Uses silence, language, art, music, ritual, and symbols in crafting meaningful liturgies that respect cultures and peoples that lead to spiritual transformation.

 
 
Liturgy is rites that are more often than not experienced in a religious setting such as a church or temple, but it doesn’t have to be. What stands out to me about liturgy is it is rites prescribed for public worship. To me, this means it could take place in the church house, Times Square, or anywhere that people can freely access and interact with God. After all, God’s Spirit is not confined to four walls or any walls for that matter!
