Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
Psalms 150:6

A Heart of Worship

We worship God in our thoughts, words, and actions -- anything we do that brings pleasure to God. We are created with a deep-seated need to connect with God, and worship is the expression of our personal relationship with Him. Worship transforms your mind and heart, gives you hope and brings you closer to God. Worship gives you joy, satisfaction and victory! If you have a heart for worship and desire to express it through music, please contact the Worship Ministry at Grace. The time is coming and is already here when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship Him that way. John 4:23 God created us for worship. Worship brings pleasure to Him. It expresses a personal relationship with God. Worship is an outpouring of who we are in Christ. Worship is a lifestyle and is more than just music. We worship Him through prayer, giving, serving, discipleship, and more. Worship is a daily connection with the One who created us.
