“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” — Ephesians 5:19

Fellowship Meal
Every Sunday
Stay if you can. The table is how fellowship is built here. Visitors are welcome.
We come together at 10:30 a.m. First there is singing, prayer, and Scripture read aloud — about thirty minutes to prepare the heart. Then about an hour is given to the preached Word. A hymn that gathers up the sermon follows, then a brief time of prayer requests. The morning service is ordinarily finished by noon. On the second Sunday of the month there is also an afternoon worship service following lunch, around 1:30 p.m.

How We Worship
Our services are traditional in that we seek to keep the simplicity of New Testament worship: singing, prayer, Scripture, preaching, prayer requests, and announcements. We worship as families. Children are welcome in the service with their parents.
In the Room
No choir performance and no band. Hymns sung by the gathered body. Scripture read aloud. Children with their parents. A small congregation that will notice you came.
The Sermon
We mean to highly value the Word of God as He has ordained. Preaching seeks to expose the meaning of the passage as it reveals God’s glory and His will for us. Series often run through a whole book. All preaching is driven by the Gospel of Grace: God saving sinners through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
If This Is Your First Sunday
Most Lord’s Days you will find thirty to fifty people. You will be greeted. Come as you are able. Sit. Sing what you can. Stay for the meal if you can. Dress runs from Sunday best to business-casual. Bring a Bible if you have one; we can put one in your hand if you do not.
