3. Christian worship should be covenantal.

4. Christian worship should be trinitarian.

5. Christian worship should be communal.

6. Christian worship should be hospitable, caring, and welcoming.

7. Christian worship should be “in but not of” the world.

8. Christian worship should be a generous and excellent outpouring of ourselves before God.

9. Christian worship should be expectant of an encounter with God.
