Senior Pastor:

Alan Gayle

Denomination:

Southern Baptist

Small and real

The pastor isn't perfect and doesn't claim to be, but speaks truth even when people don't want to hear it. The worship leader is unbelievably talented, but the worship service is about God and not about her talent or her performance. The people are flawed, imperfect, struggling, confused, warm, loving, and friendly. It's a small enough body that it's easy to become familiar with just about everyone. Whenever I miss a few Sundays, they all notice I haven't been there. It's human-sized, warm, and God-centered.

Can you tell us more about this statement

"The worship leader is unbelievably talented, but the worship service is about God and not about her talent or her performance"

How do you tell when its God and not about someones talent that's moving you?

What criteria do you use?

Have you asked others if they feel the same way?
