An associate pastor in Colorado was offering the morning ‘welcome’ to his gathered congregants, immediately following the opening hymn.  He got a couple of things mixed up in his head and enthusiastically directed, “Now…let us turn and worship each other!” 

At Cedar Mill Bible Church we certainly do not worship each other, but we do warmly and kindly welcome each other!  One of the obvious ways in which this is done is in our corporate worship.  Because we are an inter-generational church, we have agreed that almost all styles and preferences are ‘valid’ in our expression of worship to God, and we creatively offer them together.

Aside from our commitment to welcoming and sacrificially loving each other, our broad worship voice reflects a theological premise as well:  Worship is the retelling of the Christ Story in our time and space—it is an ‘incarnational’ re-presentation of God’s love for us, as expressed in the gift of His Son, and furthered by the powerful work of the Holy Spirit—a story in which we find ourselves today.

We want to use all of the resources we can in order to participate in this ongoing work of God as we meet together each week.  So it is not unordinary to find ourselves engaged by elements such as strong biblical teaching, hymns and choruses, drums and drama, choirs of all ages, congregational and presentational music, and video as you encounter the present risen Christ at Cedar Mill.

As you join us, we won’t worship your craft or your voice or your individual offering, but we will gladly welcome you as a part of our collective articulation of our developing understanding of, response to, and gratitude for the continuing work the God—in, for, and through us!
