Also, that through Jesus Christ they "are to give [their] allegiance to God." Members affirm that "real power and effectiveness lie in God's hands." Of Worship: the most fundamental and essential form of worship of the Triune God, to the Ekklesia Project, is that of communal origin. Which is seen as guided by the Holy Spirit, and to be incorporated into all aspects of daily life with the goal to always glorify God.
