First Reformed Church Pastor Dr. Dominique Denman recently served as Facilitator and Executive Director for the documentary Worship in Motion, sponsored by the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship. The film explores a central question facing many churches today: What is worship, and how can it become vital again in the 21st century for congregations experiencing decline?

Using film as a creative lens, the project examines how storytelling—both sacred and secular—often reflects themes that point toward the gospel message, including redemption, justice, reconciliation, and hope. The documentary invites viewers to consider how the church might rediscover vibrant expressions of worship in today’s cultural landscape.
