FIEC Resources for Church Leaders

The Shape of Corporate Worship // Singing with the Saints (Part 1)

In light of the Protestant Reformation, the early Independents wrestled with what should guide or shape our corporate worship.

In this In:Progress webinar, Graham Beynon (Associate National Director) explores 16th- and 17th-century church history and theology to help us understand where the principles that underpin our corporate worship today came from.

The webinar covers the Reformation and early separatists, the normative and regulative principles of worship, different approaches to corporate worship, and what worship is acceptable to God.
