Contemporary Worship
	Worship is our Holy Spirit empowered response to God’s great love, shown in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our whole lives belong to God, and we gather together on Sunday as a community to praise Him together.

Traditional Service
	Worship is the joyful work of God's people. Everyone present, regardless of age, is an active participant when the body of Christ gathers to worship. "I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." (Psalm 122:1)

Join the Worship Team
	If you are passionate and skilled in arts, music or technical fields we have a place for you! We are a joyful community of people desiring to honor God with our abilities. We are flexible and will work with your unique schedule.

Join the Choir
	We are an SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) ensemble of people who deeply desire to praise the Lord through choral music and support the congregational worship. New members are welcome at any time.

Bell Choir
	At Whitworth Presbyterian the Chancel Bells use 5 octaves of Schulmerich handbells. We ring bells during worship about once per month playing traditional hymns and original handbell compositions. If you have some interest in participating or learning about this type of music you may contact John Wilson, the director, or come to a Tuesday evening rehearsal.
