Rationale
Christ followers are responsible for developing a theological base and biblical understanding of worship. The themes of kingdom, covenant, temple, redemption, and the overarching concept of worship are displayed throughout the seamless biblical narrative. God’s plan to worship him is articulated, explained, illustrated, documented, and applied throughout the pages of his Word. Principles of worship are drawn from Old and New Testaments to include practical integration into present day living.
