L.E.S.S. Is More

The heart of worship at Praise is rooted in John 3:30. “He must become greater, and I must become less.”


Our lives, our team, and our music will be marked by Love, Excellence, Sincerity, and Sacrifice (L.E.S.S.)

  • Love

    We love and worship Jesus above everything else. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27 ESV)
    We are people who faithfully love and passionately worship Jesus. And we love our neighbor; our love for Jesus fills us up and spills out for those we are closest to.

  • Excellence

    We strive to be prepared, skilled, and excellent in heart, mind, and spirit. We always ask: “Is this my best?” Excellence isnʼt perfection, but it is my best, and my best means always getting better.

    “Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58 ESV)

  • Sincerity

    There is no room for pretending! Our worship will be authentic. We can spot a fake a mile away. “Let love be genuine...” (Romans 12:9)

  • Sacrifice

    Real worship costs us something. We’ll gladly give it up. It might be our “me” time, or maybe our ego, or maybe our $$, or our favorite music store licks. Christ paid the greatest sacrifice for our sin. We’ll spare no amount of effort and will gladly give of ourselves.
