The goal of Cargill's Praise Team is to help reach people who have given up on church, but not on God.
Many people today have little or no church experience.
They didn't grow up attending weekly services, Sunday school, or church social events. When they have attended worship, it's been a negative experience for them. They are turned off by the traditional worship experience. They find the language foreign, the prayers and hymns unfamiliar, and the entire worship event very intimidating and awkward. The goal of the Praise Team is to help provide a worship environment that is comfortable, informal and non-threatening so that those who have given up on traditional church, have an alternative option that may be just what they need to begin building their relationship with God.
