Community Presbyterian Church includes people from many different backgrounds.

     Some have a traditional Presbyterian background in worship – which tends to be quiet and meditative with hymns that emphasize our having been made into one body, one community through Jesus Christ. A relationship with God tends to grow organically through time spent in prayer, Bible Study, and service to one another and others. A more reserved people, they tend to lack terms to describe the evolving closeness and love they have for God.

    Others have an evangelical background in worship – which tends to be more expressive, emphasizes opportunities to accept and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, with hymns and choruses that emphasize a personal relationship with Jesus. Testimonies to God’s work in their lives is some times a part of their worship services.  They tend to use language that expresses a growing intimacy with God. Such a growing closeness with God can occur as a result of a new commitment or recommitment to Jesus. This is often accompanied by a turning away from things, activities and people that kept them from the Lord. It is also a relationship that can deepen over time as life is lived out in service to Jesus Christ.

    Still others have a charismatic background in worship – which tends to much more expressive – openly showing their feelings with music that focuses on words from the Bible that have choruses enabling people to meditate on the major thoughts of the songs or choruses. The music is often accompanied by raised hands, clapping, and moving to the beat – much like ballet dancing does in relationship to the music being sung. They tend to use very personal terms when talking about their relationship with God. Their worship invites people to enter into an experience with God Himself.

    The worship of the church includes styles reflective of the different backgrounds while being inclusive of people with different backgrounds or preferences.
