SUNDAY MORNING
When we gather for public worship on Sunday mornings our primary focus is God's Word to us (the Scriptures) and our response to Him (our praise, prayers, etc.). A service of the Word from beginning to end, the hour we spend together is shaped by the Bible passage to be preached that morning: congregational singing, instrumental and choral music, prayers, and our confession of faith. You will engage in a form of worship rooted in history and kept warm and lively by leaders and people alike as we affirm what we believe with our whole hearts. The music is predominantly hymns accompanied by organ and other instruments. We remind one another of our core Christian faith by declaring the Apostles' Creed; we enter into congregational prayer ending with the Lord's Prayer. The sermon is the centerpiece of the hour-- it too is our corporate expression of worship: led by the preacher and transforming the listeners.
SUNDAY EVENING
Sunday evening services are simple gatherings: we come together at the end of the Lord's Day to sing together and to hear God's Word. The diverse music is led by a small group of musicians in a tapestry which weaves together Scripture, prayer and testimony. Our pastoral staff shares preaching duties, generally preaching through a series from a biblical book or theme.
