Worship
You will find a blended musical style at Canyon View Church. Our desire is to welcome the best expressions of worship that God is inspiring among his people today, while still treasuring some of the traditional music that has been a blessing to God’s people for generations.
Above all, we strive to lead people to an understanding of worship as something that transcends music and particular styles, and is foremost an expression of God’s indescribable worth.
We desire to be a people who bring pleasure to God in all we do by worshipping in spirit and truth (John 4:23).
God has given Canyon View Church a vision based out of 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 where we seek:
-
RECONCILIATION of men and women to God and each other
-
RESTORATION of lives to God's plan and purpose
-
RELATIONSHIPS that are God-honoring
