The church word that best describes the order of our worship is liturgy, which means, “work of the people.”  When we gather to pray and praise God’s name it is hardly passive.  We expect to work, to pray, to sing, and to give.  In many cases those ‘working’ jobs in worship are assigned.

Worship Leader Guide– This guide outlines the duties and responsibilities for each role during worship.
