10:45 a.m. Worship Service

Why We Meet Together

We meet together to worship the God who has redeemed us and to edify one another. We’ve been created by God to worship Him with our whole lives, and it brings Him particular glory when His people honor Him corporately. God works by His Word and Spirit through His people when we are together. We build one another up in our faith by exercising the gifts that He’s given us. Corporate worship is first and foremost a meeting between God and His people, but it’s also an opportunity for those who do not yet know Christ to come and say, “God is truly among you.”

When We Gather

As an independent, evangelical church, we have no formal service order that we have to follow. But within this freedom, we seek to make all the elements reflect God’s priorities. We aim to read the Bible, preach the Bible, pray from the Bible, sing songs that reflect the Bible’s truths, and celebrate the Lord’s Supper and baptism that dramatize the Bible.

What We Sing

Because we’re committed to being a multi-generational church, we sing songs from the past, present, and future. We sing great hymns of the faith from the past that help us pray, think, and celebrate with words that will last for a lifetime. We sing modern songs from the present that reflect what God is doing in the church today. Pointing to the future, we occasionally sing songs in other styles and languages, reminding ourselves of our future when we will worship God together with people from every tribe and tongue and nation.
