The Lord's Day matters because Christ is risen, His gospel is true, and His people need Him. We do not come merely out of habit, nor simply to attend a meeting, but to draw near to God as His redeemed people, to hear Him speak through His Word, and to respond in faith, repentance, thanksgiving, and praise.
Our worship follows a deliberate and biblical pattern. God calls His people into His presence - a call to worship, and we respond.
Though the Bible does not prescribe one rigid order of service, it clearly gives the church the central elements of gathered worship: the reading and preaching of Scripture, prayer, hymns and spiritual songs, confession, offerings, and the benediction. On certain occasions, we also celebrate the Lord’s Supper and baptisms.
The Centrality Of The Word
The preaching of Scripture holds a central place in our worship. Through His Word, God sustains his church. We need the voice of God, and only him, speaking through the Scriptures.
For that reason, we are committed to expository preaching and to worship that is saturated with the Bible from beginning to end.
Baptisms & The Lord's Table
On certain occasions, we celebrate baptisms. We rejoice as people publicly confess their faith in this symbolic regeneration and union with Christ.
We also honor The Lord’s Supper as a precious gift to the church, through which believers are reminded of Christ’s atoning death, nourished in faith, and called to examine themselves in humility and hope.
