1) Worship is a dialogue. It should include two elements: prayer and praise.
2) Worship is focused on Christ. It should be focused on Jesus instead of ourselves.
3) Worship is contemporary. It should reflect the culture we live in so it is more accessible to people.
4) Worship is traditional. It should also reflect the past and include hymns people have sung for centuries.
5) Worship is wholistic. It involves the whole person, including intellect, emotions, senses, and the body. People should be fully engaged in worship.
6) Worship is participative. We should try to engage as many people as possible during worship.
7) Worship is inclusive. It should be accessible to people from all walks of life, not directed towards a certain audience.
8) Worship is a balance. We should try to balance the closeness and nearness of God, expectation and surprise, and pagaentry and intimacy.
