*Adopted from the North Point Community Church Programming Model

Our worship services “Worship Environments”, can be easily broken down into 8 distinct pieces that provide us an efficient model that is impactful, yet void of the fluff that can make church services drag.

(draw them in)

(get them involved)

(motivate them for change)

I. Pre-ServiceIt all starts with the pre-service experience from the parking lot, to greeters, to the 10B4 video.  We want attenders to feel welcome and comfortable.

II. OpenerIn the opener we try and accomplish recognition, common ground (emotion) and fun. Often times this is a song – but it doesn’t have to be. It can be a funny video (Mother’s Day ‘09 – Tim Hawkin’s “Things You Don’t Say to Your Wife”…. google it), a game (NBC’s Minute to Win it), a skit (Tom Barboon selling funny t-shirts), etc. The thought behind this comes from the man, himself, Jesus. As Andy (lead pastor of North Point) has pointed out, in Luke 15:1-6, Jesus finds common ground for both sinner and saint. He strikes an emotion by relating to them with something that has happened to everyone.

III. Welcome

We want to welcome people to our house, not bore them with information they can easily find in the bulletin or watch in the 10B4.

IV. SingingAt this point, we invite people to sing with us. They may not know the words – so we put them on the screens.  We all love to sing about how great our God is, so let’s make it easy for them to as well!

V.  BaptismsAlthough, baptisms do not happen every Sunday, it’s a great way to involve an attender by letting them hear someone else’s story, that may be similar to their own.  No one is perfect, but God’s grace is. This is our time to celebrate growing relationships with Christ! By recording a new family member’s story and playing we can change lives of others.

VI. Special

A special song about the message rarely happens because it has to create (not solve) tension. It has to set up the message. Sometimes, there is that perfect song that is the perfect set up for the speaker and it’s a great tool to use to narrow the focus even more.

VII. Message

This is where we begin to challenge people and hopefully inspire life change. It may be uncomfortable, but hopefully they are more open to hearing or listening because they were made comfortable by the very 1st step they took out of their car almost 45 minutes ago.

VIII. Closer

This is a song that punctuates the message. Often it is a worship song.

So what about offering? Great question. Offering involves everyone so it happens between singing and the message.

*Adopted from the North Point Community Church Programming Model

PreClub Worship is an elongated, yet condensed version of our original programming model. Note the differences.

In this case offering would fall between singing and the pkg. message, or the first closer and the adult mixer.
