WORSHIP TEAM

Purpose: Worship is bedrock to the vision of River City Community Church, and is the central focus of everything that we do.  Therefore those who have the assignment of leading us into worship in our Sunday morning venue play a crucial role in the vision of our church.  The worship leader(and team) are the ones who combine music, creative arts, Scripture, and spoken word to create an environment where the congregation can become sensitive to the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. 

 Worship is the passageway by which we respond to God’s love, express our awe, adoration, and astonishment of God, and respond to God’s love through a transformed lifestyle.  In addition to that, worship in the Sunday morning venue becomes the window by which most people will peer in to catch a glimpse of River City.  When we are working at our best, worship, evangelism, racial reconciliation, social justice, and spiritual formation will all be deeply interconnected. 

Procedure
