Worship is not simply an act we perform for its beauty or meaning, though it certainly embodies both. Worship is the purpose for which we were created, the deepest expression of our humanity in response to God’s infinite worth. Through worship, we fulfill our highest calling as creatures made to live in communion with our Creator. Worship is our act of surrender, opening ourselves to God’s transformative power. In offering ourselves, we are shaped by divine love, healed, restored, and drawn into the life of God.

God, in divine sovereignty, does not need our worship, yet God desires it for our sake. Worship aligns our souls with God’s grace, leading us into the fullness of our humanity. We find our true identity and purpose in worship, as the Spirit sanctifies our offerings, making them holy and worthy in God’s sight. So central is worship to our being that without it, we risk turning to lesser pursuits, leaving ourselves vulnerable to distortions that separate us from God’s life-giving presence. Worship centers us in God’s love, restoring us to the communion for which we were made.
