Why Visual Worship

There is no denying that our culture today is dominated by images in our everyday life. And like the old saying goes "a picture is worth a thousand words". Because images are part of our everyday life and they can convey a message better than words, we need to explore more possible ways to affect a person's understanding of the gospel and God's love through how we worship.

One of the ways to present a more effective worship service, is to consider using more visualization. By using the visual arts alongside our worship songs, we are able to connect the message of the song more effectively. The use of the visual arts with a worship song is often referred to as "Visual Worship"

I saw this explanation of visual worship on the internet and I think it sums it up beautifully "Visual worship is not about what your eyes see, it is about how our mind and heart and spirit connect with and respond to God through those things our eyes see."
