I’m New
“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” — Ephesians 5:19
Simple New Testament worship. Families together. The Word opened. A meal after. Visitors are welcome at the table.
Every Lord’s Day
Beginning
10:30 a.m.
About thirty minutes of congregational singing, prayer, and Scripture read aloud. All ages come before His presence with singing.
Following the singing
The Word Preached
About one hour
We open a passage of Scripture — often a series through a book of the Bible, Old or New Testament. All preaching is driven by the Gospel of Grace.
Close of the morning
Hymn and Prayer
Finished by noon
A hymn on the theme of the sermon, then a brief time of prayer requests from the congregation.
After morning worship
Fellowship Meal
Every Sunday
A shared meal. This is the ordinary way fellowship is built here. Visitors are welcome.
Second Sunday of each month
Afternoon Worship
1:30 p.m.
On the second Sunday of each month we gather again for worship following lunch.
How We Worship
Our services 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 — to participate and to hear from the same God as the adults.
The Voice
The instrument we enjoy using as the vehicle of praise is the voice, singing with grace in our hearts. We love doctrinally rich hymns. Congregational singing — one heart and one voice — is prized above performed music. There is no band and no choir performance.
The Sermon
We seek to highly value the Word of God as He has ordained. Preaching exposes the meaning of the passage as it reveals God’s glory and His will for us. Afterward the pastors are available to meet with visitors — questions about Christ, about this congregation, or a request for prayer.
If This Is Your First Sunday
Most Lord’s Days you will find thirty to fifty people. That is not a crowd you disappear into. 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.
Before You Come
Children remain with their parents during the service. There is no separate children’s program in that hour. Lunch is not required; if you can stay, the table is how this church becomes a people to a stranger.
