From 10:15-10:45 our Fellowship Hall is open for coffee, refreshments, and good conversation. Service begins in the sanctuary at 11:00.
We provide information on upcoming events and make known any needs within the body so that we may "bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Gal. 6:2).
The congregation participates in a responsive reading from the Psalms, summoning our hearts to say together, "Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!" (Ps. 95:1).
We sing a blend of historic and contemporary songs. Our desire is to worship God "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24) while singing a mix of "psalms and hymns and spiritual songs" (Col. 3:16).
The entire congregation recites a statement of faith, such as the Apostles Creed or Nicene Creed, professing the core biblical truths as we "hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering" (Heb. 10:23).
With "prayer and supplication" (Eph. 6:18) we thank God for His goodness, repent of our sin, ask for His understanding, and seek His glory.
We teach expositionally from the Bible, which means we normally go through a book at a time, chapter by chapter. We believe this is the best way to "rightly handle the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15) and "[declare] the whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27).
We conclude each service by sharing Communion so that by "eating this bread and drinking this cup" (1 Cor. 11:26) our faith is nurtured through the finished work of Christ.
We depart with a biblical blessing read on behalf of the church, such as Numbers 6:24-26 or 2 Corinthians 13:14.
A giving box is located in the foyer for contributing to the needs of the church, "not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Cor. 9:7).
