At RIO, we take worship very seriously and have designated our services to provide everyone with the opportunity to move into God's presence through the vehicle of music. While all genres of music can be effective for use during praise and worship, at RIO we have found that incorporating a modern style works best for us. Each network location may differ slightly, but all are very careful to follow God's pattern for worship. We begin with high energy praise that is a testimony of God's greatness, and slowly move into a more intimate time of worship. This is when we sing directly to the Father. This is the time of true communion with Christ. We invite you to come and worship with us, and experience God's promise to inhabit the praise of His people!
In the fall semester of 2006, we began our first series of worship ministry classes in conjunction with our school of ministry. At this time we are offering "Foundations of Worship" and "Musical Applications for Worship." These classes have been designated with the lay person in mind. With a learning friendly environment, everyone from the beginning musician to the seasoned professional can find common ground. Additional classes will be offered in the future. |
