THE HEART OF WORSHIP

Genuine worship stirs our hearts, stimulates our minds, and motivates our feet for Christian living.  The Worship Services at Nashville First are focused on an “Audience of One” – The Lord God Almighty, Master and Creator of all the universe. Our desire is to honor, magnify, and lift up the precious Name of Jesus through the powerful preaching of God’s Word along with dynamic praise and worship music. A variety of creative expressions are employed to lead Believers in meaningful, intimate worship with their Lord as we seek to impact others with the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ. These expressions include offerings of praise rendered by our choirs and orchestra, personal testimonies, the reading of scripture, solos and ensembles, guest artists, drama, thrilling congregational singing, and speaking to God through prayer.
