Worship at Providence

Worship does not stop when you leave our church building, nor does it start when you arrive. When you first visit Providence, you may notice we look a little different then other churches. You may also notice that we look at lot like our culture. This isn’t an accident. We worship in a bar that now looks like a Starbucks. Our music is reflective of some of the most creative music of our culture.  At Providence, worship is not something we turn off. Ever. From the business district, to the world of artists in Deep Ellum, we desire to see Christ transform life and impact our production. In many ways, art serves as a connecting point to truth. This is why we strive to make good art. We will never separate our services by style or form because we are a missional church in this regard. At Providence Church we sing hymns that are hundreds of years old and we sing songs that were written just last month. We are constantly reinventing ourselves and our church for the sake of the Gospel in our World. Why? … Because, Christ truly infiltrates every avenue of human existence. He did so back in the 1700s when hymns were written to the tune of old drinking songs. He does so today as we worship Jesus under the guise of a progressive and changing culture. 

We take singing very seriously at Providence Church. We are a diverse community with many different perspectives. We are made up of many different upbringings and denominational backgrounds, but we are one body. In the same way, we sing one song as a corporate gathering of many different voices. We sing songs, not because they help us to worship God, but because they are the corporate expression of our worship. This is an important distinction.  Jesus, as our High Priest (Hebrews 9), is our help in worshiping God.  Jesus does for us what singing can never do; Jesus enables us to worship.  Singing does not enable us to worship.  Singing is a tool.  It is expression.  It is an overflow of our affections towards our God.  At Providence Church, we sing because we can’t keep from singing. We sing, not because we want to be moved. We sing because we are being moved. This is what makes worship real. This is the genuine worship that the Father seeks.

We invite you to come to one of our services and worship with us.  If you ever have any questions or comments about our worship department, or if you desire to sit in on one our auditions, then don't hesitate to contact me.
