Worship
With Us
What is the Service Like?
The worship service is a dialogue between God and his people. This includes singing, Scripture readings, prayers, a sermon, an offering, the Lord’s Supper, and declaring our faith using summaries from historic Christian creeds and confessions.
Will I be asked to do anything?
No. If you are visiting with us, our goal is to serve you and provide a place where you can encounter God’s presence. An invitation to partake of the Lord’s Supper is given to all baptized Christians who profess faith in Jesus Christ. If you do not believe, or are not sure, we ask you not to participate in this part of the service. We would not ask you to do anything that would compromise your conscience.
How should I dress?
There is no dress code. People dress in everything from jeans and a t-shirt to suits and dresses.
What about my kids?
We love having our children present in worship! We encourage you to help your children learn to engage in the liturgy. We also realize all children and families are different, so we offer nursery care during the service for infants and young children. We accommodate needs for older children, too - please let us know how we can best support you and your family.
How long does the service last?
The morning service is about 90 minutes.
We Believe
The Bible is the written word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
In the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
All people are sinners and totally unable to save ourselves from God’s displeasure, except by His mercy.
Salvation is by God alone as he sovereignly chooses those he will save. We believe his choice is based on his grace, not on any human individual merit or foreseen faith.
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through his perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in him, alone, for salvation. God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals, but as families in successive generations, according to his Covenant promises.
The Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
Jesus will return bodily and visibly to judge all humankind and to receive His people to Himself.
All aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
