Sunday Worship

Worship is primarily God’s service to us through His word. Secondarily it is our service to God, through thankfulness, praise, and to the glory of God’s holy name. Every Sunday we meet for worship so that God can serve us–proving his love and faithfulness.

At 9:45am we have an informal Bible Study following certain books of the Bible but always taking time for questions you may have. At 10:30am we have the formal worship service as detailed below.

All are welcome either to our Bible Study or Worship or both! God makes no distinction and neither do we. God’s grace extends to all.

We provide coffee and snacks for before/after worship so that the body of Christ may be built up through mutual encouraging.

WHAT HAPPENS IN WORSHIP?

Our worship services follow a structured order called the liturgy. While Christians are free to worship in a variety of ways, this pattern helps teach and reinforce God’s Word through Scripture, song, and repetition.

The service begins with Confession and Absolution. Together, we confess to God that we are sinful—we fall short. In response, the pastor proclaims God’s forgiveness, which we receive by faith. Because of Jesus, God sees us not as sinners, but as saints.

We then hear readings from Holy Scripture, which strengthen and encourage our faith. The pastor applies one of these readings to our lives in the sermon. Sermons are typically about 15 minutes long, and the entire service lasts about an hour or less.

Prayer is also an important part of worship. God invites us to pray at all times, and in worship we join together to bring our requests before Him.

The service concludes with God’s blessing, sending us out with His peace for the week ahead.

Everyone is welcome to join us for worship. God’s message of salvation is for the whole world, and He desires all people to be saved.
