What to Wear
We
have a diversity of people attend our services and are thankful for a
congregation with a variety of dress. You'll find anything from very
casual jeans and t-shirts to polos and slacks to business casual and dresses.
Children During the Worship Service
We
are thankful to have a congregation with many children. We encourage
all parents to train their children to worship as part of the church. We
provide a nursery and kid's church up through 8 years old. Some
children remain in the service the entire time, and we welcome their
presence.
Service Format
Our
service is intentional, in that it follows a deliberate order of
worship, but it’s not formal in style. We aim to glorify God as we
joyfully gather as Christ's church to worship Him in the singing of the
Word, the praying of the Word, the public reading of the Word, and the
exposition of the Word with application to our daily lives. And after
service, it's normal to find folks talking over the sermon and events of
the past week in a time of rich fellowship.
Sermon
Preaching
is generally expositional, meaning that it seeks to systematically work
through passages of Scripture, declaring the point of a particular
Biblical passage, with practical application rooted in the redemptive
story of Scripture. Sermons usually last around 45 minutes and are
packed with material for reflection. Our sermon series regularly
alternate between the Old and New Testaments. All preaching is driven by
the Gospel, the Bible’s main message of God saving sinners through the
death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Music
We
sing a blend of lyrically rich songs both recent and historic. Those of
us who are comfortable with music from one particular era have
discovered that we come to enjoy other songs we had not previously
encountered. We strongly prefer congregational singing, which emphasizes
the gathered body enthusiastically singing praise to God with one
voice. Most Sundays we sing with a variety of instruments including
piano, guitar, violin, cello and a drum.
Sunday Classes
On
Sunday morning at 9:00 am, we come together for Sunday Classes for all
ages (except under 2), where we study God’s Word and its application to
all areas of life. Sunday Worship starts at 10:30am.
