Worship Ministry
Helping people experience God and develop a life of worship


Ms. Nikki Scott - Worship Minister

Leading the congregation in authentic worship and creating sacred space where God can produce authentic worshippers.

Our hearts starve for God’s presence. People around the world crave to worship and honor God and our Savior Jesus Christ. Worship satisfies that longing and craving.

The purpose of the Worship Ministry of New Life Christian Church is to encourage all people to leave worship feeling spiritually full and in the wonder and awe of the presence of God and our Savior Jesus Christ. The Worship Ministry of New life Christian Church is to sing songs unto the Lord that will provoke the congregation to not only join in the worship experience, but to have an individual experience with God themselves so that the hearts of the people will be prepared to receive Word of God.

Along with preparing hearts to receive the preached word, worship participants are also encouraged to boldly seek God’s Word for themselves through personal study; - there the true nature of genuine worship is found.

Worship is an ACT of reverence. This idea indicates there is action in the ACT of worship. Psalm 63 states “My lips will praise you” (vs.3) and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips. (vs.5) “Numerous times in the Psalms, we are taught to sing to the Lord a new song.”

New Life Christian Church consists of people who believe true worship is to “love the Lord our God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with our entire mind, and with all our strength” (Mark 12:30). We are committed to helping people of every background encounter God with their intellect (mind), with their emotions (soul), with their bodies (strength), and with their choices (heart). When people are given the opportunity to experience God in worship on all four levels of human experience they are empowered to give themselves back to God more fully.

“Worship is the total adoring response of [humankind] to the one eternal God, self-revealed in time.” Evelyn Underhill

“Worship is the submission of all our nature to God….The most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable.” William Temple
