Our worship is patterned after the examples of the New Testament Christians who lived and worshipped God in the first century. These are the ways we glorify and honor God:

Prayers are offered by different men to express different cares to God at specific periods in our worship.

…By prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God (Philippians 4:6).

Songs are sung without instruments, a capella (which means “in the style of the churches”) because that was the practice of the early church.

Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord (Ephesians 5:19).

The Lord’s Supper is a memorial to Jesus our Lord. We celebrate this each Sunday as disciples have always done. This memorial reminds us of what Jesus’ life, death and resurrection offers to all of mankind.

Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them… (Acts 20:7).

The contribution of the saints is taken up each Sunday, following the example in scripture. This is a collection from our church family. Guests may contribute but are not expected to do so.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come (1 Corinthians 16:1-2).

During the sermon you are encouraged to follow along in your Bible or from one in the pew racks. The intent of our speaker is always to simply proclaim a message from the Bible, and the audience is encouraged to examine the Scriptures to make sure that the truth is presented.

These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so (Acts 17:11).
