worship
At Fellowship, we believe very strongly that God wants to pour out his presence onto us as we draw near to him. Whether it's through the songs we sing, the lights we control, or the aesthetics we create, it's all intentionally designed to facilitate worship of our powerful and compassionate God.
Watch below as Kevin, one of our worship leaders, shares his heart behind the latest Fellowship Worship original song, "Seek First." You can also check out the recording of the song itself below as well.

Ask and it will be given to you . . . Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! [Matthew 7:7,9-11]
We love and worship God by not only believing God has the power to heal and to grace us with himself—but that he has the desire to give us the fullness of his presence.

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. . . . be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. [Galatians 5:25, 2 Timothy 4:2]
We love and worship God by submitting our plans to God’s—both in allowing the Spirit to fill our plans ahead of time, and leaving space for him to fill our expresssions of worship in the moment.

. . . Speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord . . . Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. [Ephesians 5:19,21]
We love and serve people by striving to be as creative musically and aesthetically as possible, venturing into new territories of artistic expression for the sake of expressing afresh the life-changing realities of the gospel. Yet, we do not disparage the ways in which God moved in the past—whether that be 15 years ago, 150 years ago, or 1500 years ago.

PASSION + EXCELLENCE
I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills . . . [Exodus 31:3]
We love and serve people by expressing exuberantly the intoxicating joy of the Lord, both on and off the stage. Without singing, playing, utilizing ProPresenter, the lighting console, the sound board, the paintbrush, the touchpad, and the camera with excellence, we confuse the importance of what it means to give the very best of ourselves to God.

GRACE + TRUTH
Everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. [Ephesians 5:13-14]
We love and serve people by being a church known by what we are for more than what we are against—namely, distributing the same mercy we’ve received from God to each other and our world. Yet, we unashamedly pursue holiness—looking more and more like Jesus—by living in vulnerable accountability with each other and by continually killing sins such as pride, idolatry, lust, gossip, slander, bitterness, and others in our lives. Instead, empowered by the Spirit, we chase after their holy counterparts: humility, Jesus-worship, pure love, unity, encouragement, and forgiveness.

GOD > SELF, ALSO
OTHERS > SELF
[God] must become greater; I must become less. . . . Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. [John 3:30, Philippians 2:3-4]
We love and worship God and love and serve people by walking in moment-by-moment humility. The humility demonstrated by Christ’s life and submission to the cross drives us to have that same attitude toward others, even amidst disagreement. While team disunity quenches the fire that the Spirit desires to pour forth in our midst, team unity opens us up to even greater moves of God than we could ever dream or imagine.
