Worship & Music Commission

Dillman's worship style is decidedly Spirit-led and contemporary, using a full band including piano, guitars, and drums. We worship the Lord seriously, joyfully, and enthusiastically. Our main purpose in worship ministry is to lead people into the presence of God, where those who are already know our Lord draw closer to Him and those who have never experienced His presence and don't know Him will recognize His presence here, giving them the opportunity to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

During our service, worship takes many forms. Sometimes it is loud and other times very quiet. Sometimes our faces show an explosive celebration of praise and other times great reverence. Sometimes we sing contemporary music and other times anthems or hymns.

Our worship involves music, the Word of God, and both physical and vocal response to what God is doing in our services. We all carry the responsibility of seeking God. Our worship is highly participatory and always open to natural expressions of adoration. Scripture is our source for our pattern and principle of worship. Exaltation is our goal. Decency and order are our constant watchwords.

The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice, to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, they raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang: "He is good; his love endures forever."
