God through Jesus Christ redeems individuals into relationship to himself and to one another as members of the church, which is the body of Christ. Christian worship, therefore, above all is to be understood as communal or corporate. This means that one's individuality finds its true meaning as a part of the community of faith and that individual worship is never understood to be in isolation from the faith and praise of the community. Moreover, it is in order to emphasize that individual or private worship is an essential part of the Christian life and is needful in order for corporate worship to find its deepest meaning and fullest integrity, just as corporate worship is necessary in order that individual worship can have appropriate substance and shape.
     The corporate worship of the church also gives direction, focus and shape to the worship carried out by families. Their worship is guided by corporate worship and they are aware that their worship is done as people who are members of a worshiping community. Indeed, worship in the home is strongly encouraged. Scripture, prayer, hymns and personal witness are all a vital part of the worship of families.
