Our highest priority
Worship
God is eager to be known and experienced by all!
Worship is ALL ABOUT GOD!! Experiencing God in worship is central to everything we do at The Vineyard Church Peoria. We strongly believe that everyone can experience God’s real and tangible presence and that often happens in worship. As we experience God’s presence in worship, His Spirit distributes His gifts to us, resulting in prophecy, prayer languages, healing, miracles and many other gifts as we joyfully experience His presence! The experience of God flowing out of a life of worship affects every other aspect of our lives and to that we simply say, more Lord!

Our Values in Worship
-
Intimacy with God is the primary destination for us as we worship. We draw near to God, and he draws near to us. As we encounter his presence in worship, we cultivate a deep connection with him. Intimacy is not a musical style or a tone of voice; it is a posture of our hearts.
-
As a worshipping community, we extend the welcome of Jesus to people; inviting them to enter into his Presence. We are intentional about bringing people with us on a journey of worship by building as many bridges both musically and pastorally. From the style of music, to the songs that we sing, we are creating environments for people to participate in worship.
-
Our desire is that the songs that we sing, would match the lives that we lead. While we value the form that our worship takes, we place an even greater value on the formation of our community. Our gathered times of worship are powerful places of transformation. We enter God’s presence not as we think we should be, but come as we are. And yet, we don’t remain as we are; we are renewed and become increasingly like Jesus.
-
In worship we welcome the King and his Kingdom. We cultivate an expectation that God will speak, move, heal, deliver and perform miracles among us as we worship. We experience in part what we will ultimately know in full: our complete restoration in God’s Kingdom.
-
Passion is the expression of a fire in our hearts for God. As we worship, we not only affirm our love for God, but we learn to love what he loves. We are authentic in our worship, whether we are in a season of joyful celebration or a time of deep sorrow. As a worshipping community, we choose to be present to Jesus and engage with what He is doing in us and in our community.
