Thoughts to Ponder

God uses worship to: transform lives, heal wounded souls, renew hope, shape decisions, provoke change, inspire compassion, bind people to one another. Through Passionate worship, God draws people to Christ, deepens understanding and relationship with Christ, and over time transforms lives as disciples grow in the image of Christ. Passionate Worship is alive, authentic, fresh and engaging.
