What To Expect When You Visit

Singing. We sing acapella – no choirs, no musical instruments – just pure vocals blending together in harmony, with everyone participating as we lift up our voices to the Lord. This is how the early church worshipped and we believe it is God’s wish for us today. Ephesians 5:19 says, “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord.”

Prayer. There are usually several prayers offered each service. These prayers may address specific needs of the sick and those in need or may simply request God’s blessings. This is commanded of us in 2 Timothy 2:1-2, which says, “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, {2} for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.”

Communion (The Lord’s Supper). If you visit us on a Sunday morning, you will witness us partaking of The Lord’s Supper, which we do every Sunday in accordance with Biblical teaching (Acts 20:7). This memorial meal is for the purpose of remembering Jesus’ sacrifice upon the cross. The unleavened bread symbolizes Jesus’ purity and physical suffering. The “fruit of the vine” (grape juice) symbolizes His shed blood upon the cross.

The Offering. You will also see us collect a weekly financial offering in accordance with 1 Corinthians 16:1-2. As our guest, you are not expected to make a donation.

Preaching. Each service a sermon is presented by our minister. All sermons are Bible-centered and designed to reach down to “where we live” and make practical application of God’s Word. Each sermon usually lasts around 30 minutes.

Invitation. At the close of the sermon, the minister will invite to come forward those present who desire to commit their lives to Christ or request prayer support.

When you visit we hope you will find us to be a people who love God’s Word, love one another, and love meeting those whom God sends our way.

Although there will be some who are dressed in coat and tie or shirt and tie it is not required or expected of any.  The majority will be dressed casually but modestly.  We want all to be able to be comfortable and undistracted as we assemble to pay honor and glory to God.

May God bless you in your desire to serve Him.
