We believe in the worship of God and we believe that our worship services can change your life and help you to fall in love with Jesus and fall at the feet of God.  Our style of worship is simple, patterned after the examples and teachings of the earliest Christians in the New Testament.  We want them to be true to God who is the Author of Truth (John 17:17) and the Way of Truth (John 14:6).

What to expect when you worship with us:

• Dress: You’ll see a wide variety of attire at our worship services. We believe that the most important clothing you wear is internal (Colossians 3:12) – compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Most of the women here either will wear pants or a dress. Most of our men don’t wear a tie, though a few might.  We’d want you to dress modestly but outside of that, it is more important to us that you are here than what you wear.

• SINGING: We praise God and edify one another through a cappella (non-instrumental) singing (Colossians 3:16). We sing to praise God and to exhort and encourage one another. (Ephesians 5:19). Everyone is invited to sing!  God is more interested in hearing praise than the quality of your voice.  We believe that a cappella congregational singing both enhances our personal involvement in the worship, and conforms to the New Testament example.

• THE LORD’S SUPPER: You’ll also notice that every Sunday we assemble to observe the Lord’s Supper, a memorial established by Jesus Himself to commemorate His death on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). We celebrate the Lord’s Supper every Sunday.  The first-century church celebrated this observance on the first day of every week (Acts 20:7).  The bread symbolizes the body of Jesus and the “fruit of the vine”, symbolizes the blood of Jesus. 

• GIVING/OFFERING: Our members make their weekly contributions in support of our ministries. As our guest, you are welcome but not expected to make a donation (I Corinthians 16:1-2; II Corinthians 9:7).

• PRAYER: We are a praying people.  There will be several prayers offered in every service as we depend on truth and want to thank God.  We offer prayers of supplication and thanksgiving (1 Timothy 2:1-8; Acts 2:42; 1 Thessalonians 5:17). If you have a specific prayer request let us know and we will try to include it.

• PREACHING:  The sermon is the time when the “good news” of God’s love and Jesus’ redemptive life is proclaimed and applied to our lives today. We want our preachers/speakers to work hard at applying the ancient Word to our lives today.  It is his job to preach the Word (2 Timothy 4). We believe you will find it encouraging, relevant, and Bible-centered.

• INVITATION:  At the close of the sermon, the preacher will “extend an invitation.” This is simply a time to invite those who are moved to do so to make a commitment or request prayer support. The preacher will encourage those who wish to “respond” to come to the front of the auditorium, while the congregation sings a hymn. This is not a time to feel uncomfortable; no one will be singled out in any way. There may be several who respond, or there may be none. Some may respond for baptism. Some may confess sins. Some may ask for prayer for a specific need. Some may want to “identify” or “place membership” with this church. If anyone responds for baptism, you will witness the baptism during this service. The baptism will be by immersion and for the remission of sin.
  

How can I be saved?

The answer is simple! Each of these steps is required for a person to be cleansed of their sins and added to the Lord's church.

1.  Hear the words of Jesus contained in the Bible (Romans 10:17)

2.  Believe that Jesus is the Son of God (John 3:36; Acts 2:38)

3.  Repent and turn away from your sinful life (Acts 2:38; Luke 13:3)

4.  Confess that Jesus is the Christ before men (Romans 10:9-10)

5.  Be Baptized and wash away your sins (Acts 2:38)
