Abstract

The project focuses on teaching the theology and practice of worship at Central Bible College, an Assemblies of God college in Springfield, Missouri. The central mission of the school is to provide post-secondary level training for ministers and missionaries. The primary premise of the work is that communication a sound biblical theology of worship is essential to preparing ministers for genuinely effective Christian life and ministry. The author suggests that most Assemblies of God students operate with a truncated understanding of worship, and therefore need to appreciate the biblical teaching that worship is the ultimate calling of humanity which should encompass every attitude and action of life before God. The thesis project presents a biblical understanding of the interpersonal nature of the worship of God. It includes a brief historical survey of worship practice in the church, and also examines the Old and New Testaments to delineate a New Testament theology of worship that can be applied to contemporary practice. Contemporary issues of corporate worship style and music are analyzed according to constructive biblical principles. Students are then given practical guidance in facilitating Sprit-guided Pentecostal worship services.
