How We Worship
At Calvary Protestant Reformed Church we follow three basic principles of worship. First, that in worship itself we come into the presence of God. When we gather together to worship, we develop and maintain a real relationship with our Lord Himself. Click here to learn more.
The second principle is known as the Regulative Principle of worship. Basically, we believe that God regulates our worship through the instruction found in His Word, the Bible. You can listen to a sermon on the Regulative Principle by clicking here.
The third principle of worship we follow is known as the Dialogical Principle. In essence, we believe throughout the course of the worship service that God speaks to us face to face and we respond. You can listen to a sermon expounding the Dialogical Principle by clicking here.
