What to Expect . . .
In our worship we rely solely on the Bible to guide our worship to God. On a typical
Sunday you will be:
-
Welcomed as you are
-
If you come at the time designated for Bible study you and your family will be directed to one of the Bible studies that take place at this time where we study the Bible together as disciples. There are classes for children.
-
Classes last 45 minutes. There is a short break between class and worship and it is used to greet and meet new people. Take this opportunity to meet people and ask questions.
We then come together to worship God. Our worship consists of the following:
-
Prayer. Prayer during the worship is meant to direct the congregation in thanksgiving, edification, asking the Lord for special blessings and bringing our cares and concerns to him.
-
Singing. Singing hymns, psalms and spiritual songs, making melody in our hearts, we lift our voices to praise God and edify one another. (Ephesians 5:19)
-
Partaking of the Lord's Supper. As the first century Christians did, as exemplified in Acts 20:7 and 1Corinthians 16:2, we come together to remember the Lord's death, as a sacrifice for our sins, and his resurrection. Death could not keep him, he overcame death so that we might also partake in eternal life with him.
-
Giving back to the Lord as we have been prospered. This is for the members of the congregation who have purposed in their hearts to give. Don't feel obligated to contribute unless you so desire.
-
Preaching. We have men of the congregation, as well as our minister, teach us from the Bible, examining the scriptures so that we might find ourselves approved. (2 Timothy 2:15)
-
As disciples we are always studying the Bible to make sure that we are following all the commandments of Christ. Christ said "If you love me, keep my commandments," (John 14:15)"My burden is light and my yoke is easy." (Matthew 11:28-30)
-
Edifying one another. "But exhort one another every day as long as it is called today, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin." (Hebrews 13:3)
-
"And let us consider how to stir up one another in love and good works, not neglecting to meet together." (Hebrews 10:24)
-
An invitation to accept the Lord in baptism. This invitation is offered each time we come together. We always want to give opportunity for those who have decided to follow our Savior. (Examples - Acts 10:1-11:8) (Acts 8:26-40)
-
An invitation to solicit help, forgiveness, prayers. We are family and we will do what we can to help.(Galatians 6:2)
Within the church you will find:
A place to belong
A place to serve
A place to grow
A place to worship​
We hope to see you soon!
