» Why are we here?
Corporate worship is the gathering together of people for the sole purpose of knowing and responding to the One True God as revealed in the Holy Scriptures.
Psalms 121:1-2 NKJV

“If you're not worshipping on Monday the way you did the day before, perhaps you're not worshipping Him at all.”
