MEANINGFUL WORSHIP AT ADARE
One of the agreed Core Values for Adare is Meaningful Worship.
Within this, we endeavour to convey a feeling of joy and awe. We believe worship is a celebration of the transforming power of Jesus. We convey God’s truth as expressed in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and how that is lived by ordinary and extraordinary people today.
Worship endeavours to be inclusive, creative/innovative, flexible, memorable, and experiential.
The focal point of worship is our God, so leaders of worship will endeavour to model humility and guide worshipers towards healing, hope and reconciliation with our God and with each other.
We exercise a ministry of loving hospitality so that those who attend worship experience grace, acceptance, encouragement, and loving service that draws them into a vital relationship with Jesus Christ.
We offer a ministry of prayer, praise, hope, healing, teaching and grace, so people are led into a more vital and spiritually deep encounter with the risen Christ that leads to effective Christian service in his name. We exercise the gifts of the Spirit with appropriate sensitivity (see 1 Corinthians 12 -14.).
