In this important message, Pastor Stephen concludes the series on biblical generosity, and explains the next steps of the Gathered and Growing capital campaign.

Building on conversations about worship and its purpose, co-hosts John Shimp and Pastor Karl Dyrli are joined once again by lead Pastor Stephen Anderson to discuss our song vetting process. Together, they explore the practical and theological considerations that shape how songs are chosen for Sunday morning worship, seeking to faithfully apply principles of biblical fidelity, congregational singability, artistic beauty, and songwriter association. 

The conversation also extends beyond the gathered church, examining how these same principles intersect with personal and private worship, as well as the role of the lead pastor as the primary worship leader within the life of the church. As a longer episode than usual, the hosts aim to provide thoughtful nuance and pastoral care, holding fast to the authority of Scripture and our call to worship God in Spirit and Truth.
