Our Purpose

Our Praise & Worship team exists to edify and encourage the body of Christ within this church as part of the music ministry. NLRO is founded on the love of Christ that causes us to worship God. Our goal is to praise and worship God, not just in church services, but with our lives so that “the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart” are acceptable to the Lord (Ps. 19:14). Within a church service, the goal is to bring the congregation into the presence of God (2 Ch 7:1,2; 1 Pet. 2:5) and set the atmosphere for the preaching of the Word of God with the ultimate goal of changing lives into the image of God (Rom 12:1,2; 2 Cor 3:18). Music is only a tool for achieving this purpose. 

At NLRO, we believe that God has a plan and purpose for every Christian. Those who serve on the Praise & Worship Team view their role as a privilege, a responsibility, and a calling that is not taken lightly. We want to offer God the best we have and that means time devoted to rehearsals and also practicing at home so we can lead the congregation in true worship under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

 “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth”. (John 4:24)
