The New Testament doesn't say a lot about how we should conduct our church meetings but when it does, it sees our worship as mainly a corporate experience. When we come together to worship, we do it as one and not as a group of individuals who each come with their own agenda. We pray together, we read scripture together, we sing together, we affirm truth that we believe together, we listen to preaching together, we exercise spiritual gifts together, we respond together. This is difficult for a western mindset which highly values independence and individualism.
