Our Values and Commitments
A Movement
Imagine Worship is a movement within the Episcopal Church, an inclusive Christian denomination welcoming people of all ages, races, and genders — every nation, station, and orientation — to find faith, belonging, and purpose in Jesus’ way of love.
Shared Leadership
We gather musicians, clergy, and creatives to make space for immersive, embodied, culturally-connected worship experiences that are grounded in ancient rhythms and attuned to contemporary life.
Beloved Community
We embrace popular music styles and technology to facilitate connection in-person and online, emphasizing racial diversity, young voices, and story sharing as essential to the church’s task of building Beloved Community.
A new kind of worship for the Episcopal Church
amplifying a kinder, truer, justice-seeking Christianity for the world.
Vision + Vibes
Jesus at the Center
We gather in the round. Jesus Christ is at the heart of our common life. His ministry to the oppressed and outcast models for us a life of compassion and grace. His crucifixion and resurrection fill us with courage and hope. His risen life made known to his first followers is revealed here and now as we gather in his name and seek his face in stranger, friend, and foe.
Beauty + Diversity
The ancient Hebrew songwriter called on God’s people to “worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness” (Psalm 96:9). What does the “beauty of holiness” look like? Imagine Worship is committed to answering that question through expressions of music, visual art, and spoken word that reflect the diversity of God’s people. As we offer to God our gifts of creativity and imagination, God opens the eyes of our hearts to see the truest beauty that is: the Image of God dwelling in every human.
Artistry + Innovation
Over the centuries, the church has played a significant role in the evolution of art, music, and literature. The church reformers of the 15th and 16th centuries embraced the printing press to spread the message of God’s grace in the language of the people. Through art, technology, and digital communications, we seek to do the same.
