There’s a tension in worship that is discussed over and over. It’s something that faces us all.
It’s the relationship between creativity and accessibility. Is the goal of Sunday’s music to be fresh and new or to be accessible to the gathered church?
It’s obviously a tension we must live with, rather than a problem to solve.
Every worship leader and creative arts pastor was inspired by the Super Bowl halftime show with Katy Perry. It fueled our imagination for making bigger and better art in our gatherings (plus, who wouldn’t want to come riding in on Voltron this Sunday morning?)
But when does creativity become the focus instead of God and His glory? Or when do we know we’re not being creative enough?
