Christ Community Church, Leawood, KS


This philosophy of worship comes to us from Christ Community Church in Leawood,KS. It is one of the best worded philosophies we have seen and wanted to share it with you.

At the very core of Christ Community Church is a passionate desire to be true worshipers of the Almighty Triune God in all of life. This is expressed clearly in our mission statement: We desire to be a caring family of multiplying disciples influencing our community and world for Jesus Christ. This is a mission of being…to be the people of God… "that everything we are, everything we do and everything we have would be invested with a special devotion and dynamism lived out as a response" to His person and His redemptive work recognized in creation through consummation (Os Guinness-The Call, p. 29).

We believe this to be the essence of biblical worship: That all of life would be lived with a worship quality before our audience of One (Colossians 3:17, 23).

We desire to encourage our congregation, both as individuals and as the gathered Body of Christ, to wholly love God, to fully follow Christ and to passionately embrace Christ's global mission. Tethered to three biblical "greats"* there is no more compelling picture of obedient, God-glorifying, holistic worship!

Our corporate worship expression is meant to be the wonderful icing on the cake of a whole life of worship. When we come together we are first and foremost obeying God (obedience is the currency of worship) and adoring Him. He is the focus. Secondarily, by coming together, the body of Christ is edified, equipped and encouraged to fully embrace a lifestyle of worship.
