Exploring Worship - Session 1

For the next several weeks I am leading a class at FBC Cornelia called Exploring Worship.  Working with an energized Worship Initiative Team, we hope to lead our church to deeper and broader worship experiences that transform our church and world.

I want to share these seminars with a larger segment of our church and community so I'll post the powerpoints each week.  

In week one we discussed Worship Confusion.  We looked at descriptions and models of the various worship styles found in evangelical churches today.  

We also began to ask about the questions of why is there so much confusion and diversity and even animosity when it comes worship - the epicenter of what it means to be church.    Below you will find the PowerPoint I used to lead the class.

Most of the material in this class came from two books:

Daniel Day.  Seeking the Face of God:  Evangelical Worship Reconceived.  2013
Paul Basden, ed.  Six Views on Exploring the Worship Spectrum.  2004

If you would like to follow the links to the Worship examples - here they are:

Contemporary, Music Driven Worship 
Formal-Liturgical Worship
Emerging Worship

We also looked a great video about the shifts in the world in 2014 as these relate to worship.  Click Here.
