Contemporary Worship Resources on WorshipOutlet.com
A term that varies in definition seemingly by each church is contemporary worship. To those who prefer traditional worship with hymns and liturgy, contemporary worship is as far from worship as one can get, with “wild” music and a concert feel. To those desiring to keep what they grew up with, yet adding a spark of life, contemporary worship is a blend of old hymns and some praise and worship songs, along with liturgy. To those seeking a change from the rigidity of traditional worship, contemporary worship allows the Spirit to flow freely through the worship time, and is an expression of time with God through music and Word.
With WorshipOutlet resources, our writers provide customizable contemporary worship services that pastors and worship leaders can use all or portions to suite their settings. Each WorshipAlivePlus service includes components of custom-written thematic liturgy, contemporary and traditional music suggestions, sermon seasonings, and video suggestions. WorshipOutlet offers worship resources that are easily adaptable to any worship format. The opening prayers, and the confession/absolution, along with the introduction to the Lord’s Supper are all optional. If your church doesn’t use those elements of worship, they can be omitted from the service without affecting the meaning of the message. Or use them occasionally as variety to your worshipers. If your worship format is true contemporary worship with music and Word alone, SimpleWorship may suit your needs better. These resources contain the Music and Sermon Seasonings only, with no liturgy.
Quite often, pastors feel ill-equipped to know how to do ‘good’ contemporary worship. It’s tough to serve your congregation, provide care for the members, and stay up on the latest trends of worship. WorshipOutlet’s contemporary worship options take this pressure off the pastors by having everything at your fingertips. We do the work – you do the worship!
Themes for Contemporary Worship are both individual and series-based. WorshipAlivePlus is subscription-based by year, quarter, or month, and can also be purchased ala carte in our website store. Maybe you’re looking for a summer series, or one based on stress. Look at our Sermon Series. We also offer series for Advent and Lent, plus holiday special services. Those are under Special Services in our online store.
