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:
“God keep your worship! I wish your worship well; God restore you to health! I humbly give you leave to depart; and if a merry meeting may be wished, God prohibit it!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is not enough for us to prostrate ourselves under the tree which is Creation, and to contemplate its tremendous branches filled with stars. We have a duty to perform, to work upon the human soul, to defend the mystery against the miracle, to worship the incomprehensible while rejecting the absurd; to accept, in the inexplicable, only what is necessary; to dispel the superstitions that surround religion—to rid God of His Maggots.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.”
—Feodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881)
