What are you looking for?
Often “What to expect” pages answer questions about attire (suits or shorts?) or style (traditional or contemporary?), but this page is to give a short picture of why we do worship the way we do worship.

Over the centuries, the Christian church has chosen to worship in a variety of ways, but we have made some intentional choices to craft our worship service in light of our cultural moment.

 At Hope Crozet we desire for worship to be:  

  1. Gospel-Centered (not moralistic and self-centered)
  2. Communal (not individualistic)
  3. Participatory (not entertainment-oriented)
  4. Intergenerational (not demographically-focused)
  5. Accessible (not technical or uppity)

We often say, “We want worship to be a banquet hall, not a concert hall.”

Oh... and to answer the question that might have really brought you here: Wear what you want! We are a casual group with folks who wear shorts and flip flops, and others who wear dress shirts and slacks.
