What to Expect

Our people are friendly and down-to-earth. Some come early for fellowship, coffee, and a light breakfast.

In our 9 AM Sunday School, we currently only have a class for adults, but children are encouraged to sit in, and we plan to start children’s classes again soon. We have a brief children’s message in the 10 AM service. We take our adult Sunday School class very seriously and work hard to provide high-quality theological education that engages deeply with Scripture, church history, and contemporary issues.

In our 10 AM Worship Service, we begin with a call to worship and opening prayer. We usually say or sing the Gloria Patri (a simple hymn of praise to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Then, we have several Scripture readings. We do not believe that music preferences should divide the body of Christ, and so we sing a mix of music styles (as long as the words are theologically rich and glorifying to God): old hymns (e.g., “Amazing Grace”), new hymns (e.g., “In Christ Alone”), modern worship songs (e.g., “Holy Forever”), gospel choruses (e.g., “He Is Lord”), and psalms (e.g., Psalm 23 in metrical form to a familiar tune). We take up a freewill offering (visitors are not expected to give). The children are invited to come forward for a brief children’s message. Then, our pastor preaches a sermon that explains and applies the Scripture readings. We confess our faith in the words of the Nicene or Apostles’ Creed to bring us back to the gospel and to the matters of first importance, like the death and resurrection of Jesus. We pray for the church, the world, and all who are in need. Then we share the Lord’s Supper, at which we say several more prayers, such as the Lord’s Prayer. We usually sing the Doxology before the benediction and sending. Bibles, hymnals, and the words to the responses are all provided, so it is very easy for visitors to follow along.

For an explanation of why we do what we do, see Pastor Johnathan’s article “What Should a Sunday Service Include?“

People usually stay around for a while after the service for more fellowship. The pastors are always available to pray with you and address your questions.
