MVC Worship

Worship is giving God the glory He alone deserves. While music and worship are not the same thing, God has ordained a unique relationship between them. Both through example and command, Scripture shows us the vital role music plays in the worship of God. Psalm 66:2 says we are to “sing the glory of His name; give to Him glorious praise.” In fact, music is a gift from God designed to develop and deepen our relationship with Him.

Goals

The Music and Worship Ministry of Murrieta Valley Church exists first to identify, train and deploy musicians who will humbly and skillfully serve God’s purposes for and through the church. Secondarily, we want to equip the church in general musical knowledge that will enhance the use of music in glorifying God.

Who We Are

We are a growing community of diverse musicians seeking to serve in an ever-increasing number of ways, including:

  • Sunday morning worship team
  • Children’s Ministry
  • Special Events
  • Choirs
  • Accompanying
  • Evangelism
  • And More

We seek to provide opportunities to use and develop each person’s individual strengths whether they be classically trained or self taught, play by note or by ear, or whether they play other people’s songs or write their own.

Our Values

Our values include consistent devotion to God’s glory and the Gospel, active involvement and accountability, humility, servanthood, gratefulness, expressiveness, faithfulness, and ongoing pursuit of spiritual and musical growth.

However, apologetics must not be cooped up in the classroom and academy. It must be taken out into the world of daily life...taken to the streets. Christians waste their time if they interact only with academic and hypothetical critics, but not with the man-on-the-street in the flesh. In fact, the majority of interactions we have will be informal and casual encounters with those in need of the gospel.

Joining a Church the Ancient Way: From Clement to Egeria

How did a person join a congregation in the earliest days of Christianity? From one perspective, the question is easy to answer. Simply put, believer’s baptism was the church’s rite of entry down to the early fourth century. But—and no surprise here—there was more to it than that.
