WORSHIP MINISTRY STATEMENT
Philosophy of Ministry ...The Worship Ministry looks to support ClearView and all its ministries.We strive to evaluate all the worship ministry programs through the mission statement of ClearView.
Philosophy of Worship ...ClearView recognizes that worship is a very important part of any church and because of that places great emphasis on planning and providing relevant, authentic worship experiences.
Here are some simple questions that are raised each week in the planning process:
Is everything based on Scripture?
Do the elements chosen communicate and reflect the characteristics of God and the full story of salvation through
Do the elements of the service help people recognize God's presence and therefore connect people with God?
Is there something familiar to a large group of the congregation in the worship plan? -- Familiarity would be different for different age groups and church backgrounds or absence of a church background.
Does everything we do encourage people to participate? -- Worship is a verb, something to participate in and not to watch.
Do the elements of the service enhance or compromise the message? -- If there is any indication that an element gets in the way of the content then it should not be used.
Throughout the worship service, is time and opportunity given for people to...
-- voice praise
-- voice thanksgiving
-- heard God's Word
-- respond to what they hear
-- pray to God in a personal and corporate way
