FBC Vernon Worship Values

• Discipleship over entertainment…our worship on Sunday morning is the overflow and appropriate response to all we are learning about God as we follow in obedience to Jesus alongside other members of our church.
• Highlight the singing of the congregation more than any other form of musical expression.
• Singing simple yet beautiful and theologically rich songs.
• We believe that what we sing and how we sing should reflect the timeless truths of God’s Word and the complete gamut of the Christian experience, i.e., truths about God, man, Sin, the good news of Christ’s work on the Cross and His Resurrection, heaven and hell, grace and repentance, brokenness and suffering, abundant life, and contending in a fallen world by faith.
