Music and Worship

Worship is more than the songs we sing. It's a way of life. Worshipsongs without a life thatexpresses the praise of our lips would be empty; a life of service without delighting in God together through music leads would be spiritually malnourished. As we discover our potential in Christ and seek to express his love, at work, at home and with friends, we demonstrate genuine appreciation of God. A grateful heart produces a positive overflow to those around us.

When we meet on Sundays, music is very important at Kairos. We encourage our highly talented musicians to develop a free-flowing contemporary sound, blending songs together yet giving space for personal response. We believe God is with the musicians in their preparation and with us together in the event of public worship. Planned and spontaneous combine in a feast of praise.

Our worship seeks to connect with the eternal worship of heaven, where delight in God is perfected, and also with our everyday, where God's availability is sometimes compelling, sometimes hidden. Kairos worship seeks to be creative and inspiring, but never coercive. We want to give space for people to enter into a deeper awareness of God, but also for each to be real in their present circumstances: one wants to be quiet and another exuberant; one rejoices and another weeps. In the gracious presence of God we offer a sacrifice of praise and discover a deeper freedom to be ourselves.

Vital parts of our worship together include Communion, opportunities for personal prayer and experiencing the inclusive love of God's extended family. We worship the risen Christ together and discover more of his love through one another.Authentic worship from the depths of our whole being is what God-in-Trinity deserves and what we are designed to express: we are created to delight in God. As we sing God's praise together, we sense the divine presence and our inner being is re-energised.
