Inspiring worship involves both personal and corporate encounter with the living God. Such worship is infused with the Presence of God, resulting in times of joyous exultation and times of quiet reverence.

Inspiring worship is not driven by a particular style or ministry focus group---but rather the shared experience of God’s awesome presence. Such worship is not about one style being better than another; worship styles and services vary widely between cultures. That’s not merely okay—that’s good!A traditional service with hymns and liturgy can be equally as inspiring as a contemporary service with electric guitars.

Inspiring worship, also, is not a matter of big budgets. It is ultimately about what leads those gathered to a personal and corporate encounter with God, who is both immanent and transcendent.
