Worship

Joff and Jodie Darcie are the Worship Leaders at Taunton Vineyard and have a heart to see a healthy worship life within the church community.  Their passion is to see the people of God engage with Him in worship in a deep and meaningful way, resulting in changed lives.

There are many worship leaders who serve in various ministries within the church which includes homegroups, children's and crèche worship, Sunday evening intercessory prayer, men's ministry and in the main Sunday morning meeting.  This group of worship leaders meet regularly to worship together, learn new songs and for personal encouragement and support.

Here is brief overview of the Vineyard Worship Values

Intimacy

Intimacy in worship is one of the foundations of the Vineyard movement.  When John and Carol Wimber and others began meeting in a home in 1977 in California, they gathered because they were hungry to meet with God. And so, for years Vineyard worship around the world has been marked by songs that are simple expressions of love and devotion.

The Bible is full of accounts of intimate worship. As David looked after the sheep he sang intimate songs to the Lord.  He continued when he became king of Israel. The woman in Luke 7 worshipped intimately as she poured perfume on the feet of Jesus.

Accessibility

In the past few years our society has made huge strides to make public places more accessible to those with special needs. People with wheelchairs, hearing difficulties and the like can enjoy more events and places than ever before.  In the same way we want our worship to be accessible for all.  Making worship accessible sometimes means that we need something called restraint in worship. Restraint is the backbone of making music that others can follow and enter into.  Restraint must go hand in hand with passion or it will lead to boredom.  If we lose accessibility, we will lose the people.

Integrity

If there ever was a time when people are looking for integrity in leaders, that time is now. It is evident that people are expecting trustworthiness in all of life, and are not quite so willing to separate the private from the public.  Integrity simply means wholeness, naturalness, the condition of being undivided. A consistency between private and public life.  The bottom line is that we worship God because He is worthy.  We all need to know that worship is not about us, it's about Jesus!
