Message from our Worship Coordinator

"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul."

-J.S. Bach

This quote has always been a favorite of mine, but when I took on the role of worship coordinator at Sierra Vista, I began to find a deeper level of meaning in these words. As I have learned to navigate the different styles of worship and music that we make here, and introduced some of my own, I have always kept this idea in the back of my mind to remember the reason we include music in our services.

Bringing glory to God is the reason for our Sunday services, first and foremost. When we gather as a church body, we do so in order to praise Jesus for His work in our lives and to remember His love and faithfulness. Music is a way that we do this together- the experience of singing and lifting praises to God with others helps us to remember that He is not just 'my' God, but 'our' God. 

In planning services, I look for music that helps to engage people's hearts, minds, and bodies in order to faciliate worship that glorifies God in every way possible. Beautiful melodies, thoughtful and eloquent words, invitations to lift our hands and hearts to God- these are just a few of the ways that music helps us to better glorify our Creator.

Both of our main services include a variety of song styles, from music that was written last year to music that was written by Christians centuries ago. We live in a time where we have the opportunity to hear and experience thousands of worship songs written in just as many styles and languages. This variety of styles gives us the incredible opportunity to remember and connect with the many Christians who have sung these songs before, across the nations and across the centuries. It reminds us that our congregation gathers not just as a church, but as a representative of the Church- the body of believers that have joined together to worship God for thousands of years.
