God uses habits and practices, inside and outside the church, to shape our worship.
We believe worship is about far more than music. It is the expression and formation of our love for the Lord—both personally in our daily lives and corporately when we gather together. We nurture this worship through intentional habits and practices such as preaching, studying, singing, fasting, and praying.

-
Preaching
We know Him through His Word, and in knowing Him, we love Him. When we gather, we proclaim and receive His Word, responding in worship to all He has done in Chris.
-
Singing
God’s people have long used music to express love for Him, and He has used it to shape us into Christ’s likeness. That’s why singing to and about the Lord is essential to the Christian life.
-
Fasting
Often overlooked, fasting has long been central to God’s people. By setting aside food for the greater treasure of Jesus Christ, we train our bodies to love the Lord above all else.
-
Praying
Our prayer lives are a reflection of our relationship with the Lord. Praying is the way we plead and affirm with God to keep His promises, trusting that He is good. It’s also a way to humble and surrender ourselves to God, confessing that He knows best.
-
Bible Study
Our time in the Bible doesn’t just stop at weekend services, with a sermon from the pastor. On our own and throughout the week together, we study and meditate on the Scriptures, learning more about God and reminding ourselves daily of the gospel.
-
Praise Dance
At HCA, children’s praise dancing connects them to worship, helping them lead and express God’s love with joy. It reflects biblical rejoicing (Eccl. 3:4; Ps. 30:11; Matt. 11:17) and echoes the sacred dances of the Hebrews in thanksgiving."
