Worship Music

The style of music a church uses defines the church probably more than anything else. Have a great choir and sing hymns and you will reach lots of senior citizens. Have a worship rock band an you will likely reach teens and twenty-somethings.

So, what do you do when you want to reach multiple generations like we do at Restoration? You do "mixed tape." Last Saturday night we had worship rock, an old school hymn and closed with a folk song a guy named Travis wrote about his grandfather. It was what we want to be. Not a church for everyone, our mission and vision will not appeal to all. But a church that appreciates the music of various generations and mixes them artistically so that the beauty created brings glory to God.

The Scriptures give us great freedom to worship God through various musical styles. We can thank God for that while also praying that we realize it is our hearts he wants. He is looking for worshipers who worship in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24).
