Worship is the unique activity of God's children whereby we ascribe honor and worth to God and offer ourselves in word, thought, and deed as a living sacrifice to God.
Corporate worship is one way of worshiping; it is the gathering of God's people in Jesus' name and in God's presence to hear His Word, remember and celebrate His redemption of and His revelation to His people, and respond in faith by acts of adoration, confession, gratitude, commitment, and intercession.
Reformed - As a Christian Reformed Church, LaGrave stands in the Reformed tradition of worship. This means that our services are filled with a sense of reverence and awe, because God is sovereign and holy. But we also strive for a sense of celebration and warmth, because of God's love and faithfulness in Jesus Christ. Our worship is God-centered. You will notice that our liturgy follows a dialogue pattern: God speaks to us and we respond.
Ecumenical - Although simplicity has always been a mark of Reformed worship, LaGrave also incorporates the best of other Christian traditions in our worship: our processional with cross and Bible, liturgical robes, the observance of the Church year, and the use of a printed unannounced liturgy.
