Worship
Churches in Australian Christian Churches are known for their Pentecostal style services that involve contemporary praise and worship, speaking in tongues, lifting of hands in worship and preaching. While Australian Christian Churches use a wide range of worship styles, generally churches use contemporary praise and worship music for services. From using Hymns in the 1930s to 1950s, music from the Jesus movement in the 1960s and 1970s and the contemporary praise and worship of the 1980s to today, AOG churches have continually adapted to new styles of praise and worship. In recent decades, churches affiliated with Australian Christian Churches have revolutionised church praise and worship. The largest driving force for this change is the popularity of Hillsong Music of Hillsong Church. Other influences are Shirelive Church, Planetshakers, Hillsong United, Youth Alive, Enjoy Church, Jesus Lifehouse and Paradise Community Church. Many ACC churches have released albums containing songs written in the church.

Famous quotes containing the word worship:
“We worship the aesthetic, but we do not have faith in it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I have always been a friend to hero-worship; it is the only rational one, and has always been in use amongst civilized people—the worship of spirits is synonymous with barbarism—it is mere fetish.... There is something philosophic in the worship of the heroes of the human race.”
—George Borrow (1803–1881)
“You who were directionless, and thought it would solve everything if you found one,
What do you make of this? Just because a thing is immortal
Is that any reason to worship it? Death, after all, is immortal.
But you have gone into your houses and shut the doors, meaning
There can be no further discussion.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
