Worship

The church worships the God known through the witness of the Christian Bible. The church worships the one God, who called Israel into covenant, fulfilled that promise in Jesus Christ, and embraced all people through the Spirit of truth.

The Bible is the heart of Christian worship. For Protestant Christians preaching from the Bible is the primary manifestation of Jesus Christ in the life of the church. In the Catholic and Orthodox traditions of the church the Eucharist is primary, yet in the twentieth century preaching from scripture has become more important than it was historically.

In the New Testament Jesus prays by himself and with his disciples, and the apostles pray with their followers. The Psalms of the Old Testament not only continue to be recited as prayers among Jews, but these poetic expressions of faith are also read regularly as prayers within the church. All Christians pray the Lord's Prayer (Our Father), and Protestant churches generally encourage Christians to pray in their own words.
