About Doxologist

What in the world is Doxologist? The short obvious answer is that it’s the name of this Blog. More technically speaking, doxa is a Greek word that means glory, majesty, or magnificence. So what’s the connection? Well, those of us involved in the music and production aspects of ministry at Mars Hill Church see ourselves as “practitioners of God’s glory” as it is displayed through Sunday’s production. Welcome to the conversation.

Here on the Doxologist blog Pastors Tim Smith, Matt Johnson and Joe Day will cast vision and address the question “What is the theology of worship and how does that guide us in practical application?” Band members and those working behind the scenes will blog on cultural observations as it pertains to the life of worship as well as practical insights into topics such as performance, lighting, songwriting, video, recording and how these things can be used to honor God and show his splendor.
