The highest priority of God's people is to worship Him, that is, to give God the worth He ought to have in our lives. In the Bible, one meaning of worship is to draw near. Thus in worship we give ourselves to God in love and He comes to us in the fullness of His Spirit. We believe that an intimate relationship with God is the basis of all that we do as Christians. Worship is an expression of our love for God. It, therefore, should involve our whole persons-our intellect, our emotions, our spirits, our wills, our bodies and our money. We believe it should be enthusiastic since our love for God is passionate. And as an expression of love, worship is also self-disclosing. As such, it should be in our own language, expressing our thoughts and our hearts in simplicity and truth. The worship ministry team recruits and trains musicians and artists while incorporating Vineyard values to give direction to our style and practice.

The priority Vineyard places on worship is extended to the children of Eastside Vineyard on Sunday mornings. Worship also plays an important role in the High School and Middle School Ministries as well. We are committed to raising up the next generation of worshipers. Support and training to develop our small group worship leaders will be forthcoming. This training will include classes for playing Vineyard songs with the guitar and how to lead worship. Our small group worship leaders will meet three times a year for nurturing, training, and vision casting.
