Christ Community Church, Leawood, KS



We are open to a great diversity of forms and desire to obey the biblical mandate to express corporate worship in new and fresh ways (e.g. Psalm 33:3).

Worship: Three Theological Tethers

True Worship is God-centered (Rev 19:10, I Chronicles 16:29, Psalm 95:6-7, Psalm 100:2, Matthew 4:10).

True Worship embraces all of life as an act of worship (Romans 12:1-2, I Corinthians 6:19, Colossians 3:17, 23).

True worship enthusiastically embraces the coming together of the Body of Christ in united expressions of worship (Hebrews 10:24-25; Psalm 33:3, 40:3, 96:1, 98:1,149:1).

Worship: Corporate Implications

We worship before an audience of one. Our corporate worship will be authentic in its purpose and transparent in its presentation.

We will worship with an appreciation for both the old and new. We will be true and relevant within our culture. Corporate worship will involve multiple worship arts, implementing each with stylistic integrity. Our worship will be multi-dimensional and multi-cultural.

We view corporate worship as the "icing" of the "cake" of holistic worship. In our community gatherings we will be diligent in our desire to encourage, assist and equip the Body for a lifestyle of worship.

We will encourage increased lay participation in corporate worship expressions. We will not be dependent on one "lead worshiper." We anticipate that a variety of musical groups will be used to lead in corporate worship.
