Worship at SHPC is foundational to our understanding of what it means to be the church. As we gather together before our audience of One to sing, pray, give thanks, and proclaim together, we are invited to encounter the Living God, yet again! Worship is the catalyst that moves us into deeper relationship with God, and with each other. Through that encounter, we are nourished and empowered to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. Our services of worship are intentional and creative, with excellent and diverse music, charismatic worship leadership, and attention to liturgy and spiritual practice. We work hard to make our worship together an opportunity to encounter the Holy, and an experience of hospitality where people connect deeply, and enjoy a sense of belonging. We foster a dynamic, open approach to our worship experience, eager for the Holy Spirit to blow and lead us to the kind of compassion and unity of intention that can transform us, and indeed the world!

Because we connect to God in various ways, we offer worship experiences that reflect that diversity, and invite us into unexpected and un-explored opportunities to encounter God face to face. Each month, we will engage in a variety of worship styles and content. Community Worship is blended with both modern  hymns and contemporary acoustic music. Worship with The Choir focuses on our Christian roots, with extended liturgies, creeds, choral music, and traditional hymns. Worship with The Band is more energetic and playful, with contemporary music from the band. Contemplative Worship grounds us in prayer, and offers opportunities to quiet ourselves so we can tune in to the still, small voice of God.

Our hope is that you will engage ALL of these experiences, for we rest in the promise that God is with us each and every time we worship together, and longs to transform us and the world. Every worship service follows a similar flow and liturgy.
