The Commission on Worship exists to help parishes in their central activity of worship that glorifies God and strengthens his people.

Music and liturgy consume much of the commission’s time, but “worship” includes far more: an interest in the style, the forms, and the setting of worship; in preaching; in liturgical orders and rites; in church music for the congregation, choir, soloists and instruments; in architecture and ecclesiastical arts.

Worship is the heart of all parish life, the time when the greatest number of members gathers to proclaim the gospel and receive God’s life-giving power in Word and sacrament.
