Acts 2:46-47

CHURCH PRACTICE STRATEGY

Corporate Worship

A Church Practice strategy that exists to celebrate God’s grace and mercy, to proclaim God’s truth, and to evangelize the lost. This occurs in an atmosphere of encountering the presence, holiness, and revelation of Almighty God. The corporate worship service is an open gathering of believers and unbelievers. It becomes another entry point for unbelievers into the church.
