Baptists have regarded worship as expressive of faith or response to God, and it is both. It is additionally a means by which persons' identities are formed. This formation takes place regardless of “style” of worship.

For Baptists, such attentiveness comes through dialogue with the wider church, and through careful listening to the Baptist heritage itself.
