ABSTRACT

The Community Worship style is by far the least common of the four worship styles. It shares many of the traits of others, especially the Evangelical style, but differs in emphasis in very important ways, especially in terms of the acoustics of the spaces and the use of media in the service. We are using the word community to mean that the focus and centrality of the worship experience is about doing it as a group, or community, of believers. The presence of the word community in the name of the church does not necessarily indicate a community worship style.
