Music at Saddleback, a Purpose Driven Church Programming music to serve the Purposes By Rick Muchow, Pastor of Magnification at Saddleback Church. It is a common myth that the Seeker Sensitive worship service is a shallow worship service. The premise of this myth is that deep life changing, God honoring worship must somehow be Insensitive to the Seeker. Equally as common, is the myth that Worship and music are synonymous. Music is a Method and Worship is a Purpose.
Music is a powerful way to take the Purposes deep into the life of the listener.
Music can bypass intellectual barriers and take the message straight to the heart. At Saddleback, I use music to serve the Purposes and strategies of the Purpose Driven paradigm. The Purpose states exactly what the church exists to do. Targets are who we are trying to reach within a commitment circle. Events are gatherings where the Purposes are presented to a Target group, i.e. weekend church services, Bible Studies, or Small groups.
