What to Expect When You Visit
Worship
When you visit one of our Sunday services, you can expect to find a simple worship service that adheres to the teachings of the New Testament. When we assemble on every Lord’s Day (Acts 20:7, Revelation 1:10), which is Sunday, we will worship God by . . .
Prayer:
Praying: We are led by different men in our congregation (1 Timothy 2:1-8).
Singing:
The whole congregation joins together in praising God in song without the use of musical instruments (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16). In case anyone is unfamiliar with one of the songs, the words are available in our songbooks and also on a screen in front of the auditorium. Many of our guests choose to join us in singing, while others prefer simply to listen as we worship.
Communion:
Every Sunday, our members remember Christ’s death by eating unleavened bread and drinking fruit of the vine (Acts 20:7). We sit quietly for a few minutes and reflect on how wonderful it is that God loved us enough to give his own Son for us!
Preaching:
We will enjoy a Bible lesson that lasts about 30 minutes (Acts 2:42; Romans 10:14). On most Sundays, one of our ministers presents these lessons, though occasionally a guest speaker will guide our thoughts. Each lesson will take a Bible passage and explain what it means and how it applies to our lives.
Giving:
Members contribute weekly to the work of the church (1 Corinthians 16:2) but do so as they have purposes in their hearts (2 Corinthians 9:7). We do not ask or expect our guests to give anything in the offering.
Sunday Morning and Wednesday Night Bible Study
Bible classes are available for all ages. This time is used to study God’s Word and to encourage each other in our daily walk with God. We believe there is tremendous value in gathering for Bible study and praise more than one time a week.
In all of our classes, you can expect to open the Bible so we can all study and grow in our faith. During these times, we also encourage one another (Hebrews 10:24-25) and help one other maintain that Christian light (Matthew 5:16) to shine for others throughout the week.
