Worship

• The strengths of this type of church are genuine,
  alive, and celebratory Worship, followed closely
  by a positive feeling of the congregation about
  their church and an attitude of openness and
  hope toward "strugglers." An added dimension to
  Wildwoods strength in this model in the
  deliberate effort to construct two distinct
  styles of Worship - which are done equally well.

• Eph 411-13
• It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to
  be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to
  be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people
  for works of service, so that the body of Christ
  may be built up until we all reach unity in the
  faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and
  become mature, attaining to the whole measure of
  the fullness of Christ.
