So what is Worship and Praise?

• A working definition for both could be described
  as an expression and or demonstration of ones
  knowledge, love, adoration, and reverence for the
  Lord (D.K.L.A.R). In addition, it is, the
  expressed commitment of trust and obedience to
  the covenant responsibilities, and memorial
  reenactment of entering into covenant through
  ritual acts, all with the confident anticipation
  of the fulfillment of the covenant promises in
  glory. In the awareness of these enduring
  truths, we find worship and praise most clearly
  delineated and defined.

GOAL

• The visionary goal that God has placed upon my
  heart for the body of Christ here at Mount Horeb
  is the desire for greater knowledge of God and an
  appreciation for worship and praise, coupled with
  an openness and freedom of expression within the
  context of our worship experience, be it
  corporately or individually.

6
OBJECTIVE

• Through a greater knowledge of the Eternal, an
  appreciation for worship and praise along with an
  openness and freedom of expression within the
  context of our worship experience, be it
  corporately or individually, we as the people of
  God should become more biblically aware,
  theologically astute, and spiritually mature.

7
Ministry Focus

• The vision of Worshipping and Praising God on
  Purpose should be the overarching focus, goal,
  and objective of every ministry of Mount Horeb
  Baptist Church for 2011. With the vision for our
  body of Christ now having been shared, let us
  collectively pour it both into and through the
  mission statements of the various ministries and
  auxiliaries of our congregation.

Youth/Young Adult Ministry

• Beginning 2011, our youth and young adults shall
  provide leadership in worship and praise through
  devotional participation, singing,
  liturgical/praise dancing, mime, and etc,.
  Furthermore, we must begin to birth and provide
  more relevant ministries for this particular
  demographic. Thus, our vision for both this year
  and the years ahead is inclusive of, but not
  limited to, the development and realization of
  vibrant youth and young adult revivals, bible
  studies, conferences, retreats, and trips along
  with a plethora of Christian spiritual,
  educational, psychological, social, physiological
  programs, and athletic activities.

Hospitality/ Greeters Ministry

• Our desire to praise and worship God on purpose
  should equally include a Hospitality /Greeters
  Ministry. The bible tells us that we should be
  given to hospitality (Romans 1213). Thus,
  hospitality is a feature of how we are to praise
  and worship God on purpose. We should welcome,
  invite, and make to feel comfortable all who
  enter into our experience of worshipping and
  praising God on purpose. This is a manner of
  demonstrating Gods love that is appropriate for
  a congregation that is open and embracing of all
  who are God seekers. By having this ministry, no
  one should arrive or depart without having an
  interpersonal encounter with someone from the
  Mount Horeb Baptist Church Family, within the
  context of purposeful praise and worship. In
  addition, this ministry will seek to better
  integrate and welcome new members into the
  broader scope of our congregation and its
  ministries.

Going Forward

• While contemplating the vastness of this bright
  and brilliant future that we have never seen
  before, let us remember the tone and tenor of the
  words the Lord spoke as found in Isaiah 4319
  when he said, Behold, I will do a new thing,.
