We believe that sincere worship is a vital part of our Lord’s Day corporate gatherings. Our worship of God is expressed using a diverse range of music, the reading of Scripture and of historic confessions of faith, and the events and seasons of the church calendar. Our desire is for the music in our services to be Christ-exalting, biblically and theologically rich, and properly emotive, that the worshipers in this body may be filled with truth and the joy of the Lord.
Philosophy of Music & Worship
We believe the ten basic principles outlined in our Position Paper on Corporate Worship at Grace Church of DuPage are in accord with God’s revelation to us in Scripture. We want these principles to guide the pursuit and expression of our corporate worship at Grace Church of DuPage, and, flowing from our corporate worship, the pursuit and expression of our worship as individuals. May the expressions of our worship be true both to what God has done and to who God is. May our worship be a pleasing aroma to Him. And may we know the goodness and joy of living out the chief end for which we exist, namely, the praise and adoration of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Grace Original Music
Music and song have always been employed to facilitate worship of God from the hearts and lips of His people, both individually and collectively. And it is a special blessing when the work of His Spirit in particular communities wells up and flows forth as original music unique to their setting. Such blessing at Grace Church is displayed and made available here to facilitate your personal and family worship—praise and petition, thanksgiving and confession, rejoicing and lament—to the praise of God's glory.
Use your Musical Talent
Part of the work of the Spirit among us is the gifting of persons for facilitating and adorning the worship of God’s people. Musicians — instrumentalists and vocalists — were vital to worship in the temple, for instance, and were set aside and freed up to use their abilities in making music.
If you are a musician and a member of Grace Church, we’d be delighted for you to approach us about serving in this ministry and helping to facilitate our worship as a body.
Grace Church Spotify Playlist

You can search for "Grace Church of DuPage" on Spotify to find this and other Grace Church playlists, and a link to the playlist will also be included in our Grace Weekly email each week.
