Worship
The worship at Christ Community Church Daytona is a beautiful eclectic mix of voices intermingled with electric guitar, cello, mandolin, synthesizer, drums, djmebes and other instruments. Worship songs are a blend of everything from the latest worship song.... to ancient hymns from the Reformed faith. We take the opportunity to come as we are to God, with reverence and adoration for the greatness of who he is.
"Our desire is to present music...either written last year, or 300 years ago...in a fashion that would not sound foreign to modern ears. Our church is committed to "contextualizing" the gospel, and we share that commitment as it pertains to worship. It is of no advantage to ask 
people to adopt a foreign musical style in order to worship. Anything that poses an unnecessary cultural hurdle to the greatest possible number of people engaging in worship should not be employed."

Leadership Transition
Right now we are transitioning our worship leadership. Pat Altes, who has led the worship at Christ Community for 17 years, will continue to be head of worship arts but is giving leadership responsibilities to Saul Seibert. For a letter explaining this transition click here.
