One of Hope's Core Values states "We believe that our worship should take us into the presence of God, which is evidenced in part by the stimulation of the mind and an overflowing heart." (John 4:24). As we define worship and its importance to our church community, we must give due consideration to the object of our worship. God! Worship is the only thing that we are certain that we will be doing in heaven. Revelation 4 describes worship in heaven. At the very center - in the 'spotlight' is the throne of God. At Hope, we believe that our coming together in public worship should be a foretaste of heaven. Our worship experience on Sunday should whet our appetite for worship in eternity. Yet worship is not just a Sunday morning thing. Worship of our Lord is intended by God to be a lifestyle. It is what He created us for!

We strive to align our worship with solid biblical principles. At Hope, we believe that worship is more than something to be viewed, and we deliberately encourage congregational participation.
