I've been a part of the worship team in my church for about ten years. My dad is currently the one who chooses the songs that we do each week and one of the things he brings up a lot is the balance between hymns and newer songs. The older folks in our church (and even some of the younger ones) are more prone to want to sing the hymns because it's what they grew up with. The younger generations tend to prefer the newer songs. We have had people leave our church because we didn't sing enough hymns.
So, I was wondering what your opinions were. Are hymns "better"? Would you prefer a church that sang more hymns or more newer songs? Does it matter?
Newer songs, for reference, are like Oceans by Hillsong (cause everyone knows that song, right?)
