Bryan believes a door to reaching today’s society is the worship service and that worship should be designed to place our attention upon and offer praise to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Every part of worship – music, preaching, prayer, offering, drama, and congregational participation – is important and should be of the highest quality. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (NIV)
