Worship preferences

If you go to church, you have a worship preference.

It may be influenced by previous church experiences you've had (either positively or negatively).
It may be influenced by the people who currently attend your church.
It may be influenced by the people you desire to reach.
It may even come down to you're effectiveness to successfully pull off a particular type of church service.
Probably a mix of all-of-the-above.

But you have a preference.

You will either lean towards ritualistic, teaching or experiential as a preference.

Note that no preference is wrong. Each has a place. The vast majority of church services will included elements of all three.

But your preference will taint how you view the effectiveness of a church service. The questions you ask will change.

I'll talk about the questions tomorrow.
