The What, Why, and Who Behind the How of Our Worship
Learn a framework for thinking through the theology of our gathered worship practices and how to apply it. 3 webinars starting 26th Feb, 2026.
Description
We will take a look at our gathered worship practices, especially from a Baptist perspective, with a focus on Christ's threefold ministry of being our prophet, priest, and king. We will discuss a framework for thinking through our specific practices—scripture reading, benediction, communion, baptism, sung worship, giving or hearing a sermon, intercession, and communal discernment—to see how they either proclaim or participate in Christ's own ministry.

Dr Christa McKirland is a lecturer in systematic theology at Carey Baptist College. With degrees in philosophy, bible exposition, and systematic theology, she enjoys bringing these disciplines together in order to speak into what it means to flourish. Ultimately, to be a flourishing human is bound to God’s personal presence and thus her doctoral work focused on the concept of fundamental need and how human beings are uniquely suited to need God in a particular way. Christa is the Executive Director of Logia International, an organisation that encourages women to pursue postgraduate divinity education for the sake of the academy and church. Logia seeks to highlight the excellence of women who are already established in their fields, while also developing the next generation of scholars who will lead the way in theology, philosophy of religion, and biblical studies.
