VPC worship
A space for information, resources, and upcoming events for VPC Worship participants. Our mission is to love Seattle by teaching and living the way of Jesus.
grow in heart & skill
We expect that each person in our worship community is investing in a relationship with Christ above all else. We desire that each one of us grows in our understanding of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as we become increasingly transformed in righteousness. We also expect that we continue to find ways to grow in our skill, whether that is taking voice lessons, or studying music theory, we want to increase our education.

Resources for heart
When David decided to bring the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. God gave very clear instructions to the Levites for the task, specifically in how they should lead Israel in worship before the Ark. In this passage of scripture below we see that God chose certain Levites for certain positions and the choir leader was chosen, not for his passion, but rather his skill in leading worship. These resources are to help you grow in your skill.

the walk: Devotionals for worshippers
The Walk invites listeners to travel along and learn how God uses the practice of worship to develop in all of us a deep faith with an overflow of joy.
Resources for skill
1 Samuel 16:7 says, “People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” You may have the most unbelievable voice, or musicianship, but if your heart’s motivation is to bring you glory and not God alone, we won't experience all that God has for us. We want to worship God with genuine passion. These resources are tools to nurture and grow your relationship with God.

song suggestions
We would love to hear your suggestions for songs as we develop our VPC Song Repertoire. Your input is valuable as it gives us insight into the themes and styles of songs that are impacting your relationship with God.
When submitting a song request, consider the following:
Scriptural Alignment:
Are the lyrics and theme of this song in line with our SDA biblical teachings, beliefs, doctrines? If unsure, a good resource would be our pastor or our elders team.
Congregational Engagement:
Is this song singable/ easy to learn (appropriate range of melody, not too syncopated etc.) and resonate with the congregation, encouraging active participation?
Worshipful Focus:
Could this song lead congregants into a posture of worship and adoration of God, rather than focusing solely on personal experiences or emotions?
What happens with our song suggestions?
When it’s time to refresh our Song Repertoire, the worship leaders take various factors in consideration such as sermon series, themes/feedback from congregation, song familiarity etc. Songs from this suggestion form will be added for consideration. While not all songs will be selected, we will note the styles of these songs and work to craft something similar if possible.
