At Lakeside Baptist Church, we believe that worship is a lifestyle response to a holy, omnipotent God. If praise is declaring what God has done, is doing, or will do, then worship is declaring (and living) who God is. If we do not know who God is, we cannot worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Our corporate worship should be a natural extension of the relationship we have with God when we are alone. When we join together in one accord to worship the Lord as the singers and musicians did in II Chronicles 5:13-­14, we believe that the tangible presence of Almighty God will result in changed, transformed, and renewed lives.

When considering the above, we, the musicians of this church, have an awesome responsibility: we are more than just a band — we are worship leaders. The expressions on our faces and the enthusiasm we show will inspire the congregation to begin to praise God and to enter into an expression of worship and a demonstration of praise. When the body of Christ begins to worship and praise in one accord, the Lord can move in a mighty way, and above all, He is honored at the highest position in our lives.

At its core, worship should honor God and, as a result, transform hearts.

We realize the significance and importance of understanding the foundations of true worship, and we commit to furthering our knowledge of these foundations. God desires a heart that follows Him, and we commit to worshiping Him not only with our instruments and our voices but also with all of our hearts, souls, minds, and strength. Worship is a lifestyle and not an event, and we want our lives to be a living sacrifice for Him.
