Vision

 

The Worship & Arts Ministry of East Cobb Presbyterian is characterized by the following vision statements:

 

 

Cultivating the heart of the psalmist,

 

 

Recapturing the story of redemption,

 

 

Celebrating the gifts of artistic expression.

 

 

 

Cultivating the Heart of the Psalmist

 

From the most exuberant of praise to the darkest of lament, the psalms give us a lyrical record of lives lived in perpetual response to God.  This dynamic of unceasing worship and honest expression is what we are seeking to cultivate at East Cobb – not a once-a-week observance, but a lifestyle of perpetual response.

 

Recapturing the Story of Redemption

 

So often we live life in a dislocated manner.  We can so easily begin to live selfishly and independently, or we can get so easily

discouraged by the harsh realities of life. 

Corporate worship - through the power of word, sacrament, song, and prayer - paints another reality for us and places us in the context of a story larger than ourselves.  Worship opens our eyes to the beauty of the gospel and relocates us in the eternal nature of God and his kingdom, in the context of community and relationship.

 

Celebrating the Gifts of Artistic Expression

 

We believe that artistic action is a natural overflow of perpetual worship, and thus we embrace a variety of creative expressions.  We are continuously exploring the intersection of worship, art, and gospel, and desire to invest in the emerging generation, recognizing the legitimacy of a vocation in the arts.
