Our Worship
Perhaps you're wondering what you can expect to see if you visit one
of our worship services.
Because of our dedication to Jesus, we want to worship in the way
that disciples of the first century worshipped.
The New Testament shows us what the apostles of Jesus taught the
early Christians to do in order to serve him
properly. ( 1 Corinthians 4:17)
When you visit us on Sunday, you will see that we sing praises and
pray to God. We partake of the Lord's Supper to commemorate
and celebrate the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We listen to Bible sermons and receive instructions from God's word.
A voluntary collection is taken to carry on the work of the
congregation, this is a responsibility of our members.
Visitors are not
asked or expected to give, but you may if that is your desire .
You can expect for the service to be
Biblical in practice and reverent in tone. There will be:
- Singing
Just like the first century
Christians we read about in the bible, we will sing psalms,
hymns and spiritual songs (Ephesians
5:19).
Prayer
Time will be spent praying to our
Heavenly Father (Acts
2:42).
- The Lord’s Supper
On Sundays we will partake of the
Lord’s Supper as Jesus instructed us to do on the first day of
the week (1
Cor 11:23-29).
- Giving
On Sundays a plate will be passed
around the congregation for our members to give a contribution
from their earnings (1
Cor 16:1-2). Visitors are
never asked or expected to give, but you may if that is your
desire.
- Preaching and Teaching
There will be a gospel sermon (Acts
20:7). We strive to have
our sermons apply to everyday living. You are welcome to ask
questions following the worship service.
We also assemble on Sunday morning and Wednesday evening for Bible
study. In all of our classes, everyone is encouraged to ask
questions, make comments, and to grow in the grace and knowledge of
Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18)
Worshiping God together in these ways encourages all of us. It
fills us with spiritual strength and motivates us to live for Jesus
through the week. When you visit one of our services, we
will do our best to make you feel welcomed.
No one will make you feel uncomfortable or embarrass you in any way.
Someone may ask you to fill out a visitor's card so we may thank you
for your visit. We hope you will join us at your next opportunity and be our
welcomed guest.
