Panorama's style is intentionally informal and may not be for everybody, but everyone is welcome. Particular care is given to including those who may never have attended a worship service before, as well as those who have taken an extended hiatus. Our Sunday format, while not without variation, includes each of these components. The emphasis is on inclusion rather than exclusion. Dress is casual, and our setting in a high school auditorium is not overly religious.
People move freely through out the service as circumstances necessitates.
Music reflects contemporary style and instrumentation with a rock undertone. This takes place in two sets, an upbeat celebratory praise time and a more reflective worship time. Players of piano, synth, electric and acoustic guitar, bass, drums, saxophone and flute worship alongside five or six vocalists from the front of the auditorium. Sound and lighting technicians offer their gifts to God in this setting as well. Announcements and prayer celebrate our life as a community and help us to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice A practical message of 20-25 minutes help us to make sense of our world as we see it through the filter of God's word.
