When you visit, this is what to expect.
OUR WORSHIP SERVICES ARE BIBLICAL, simple, spiritual and orderly, keynoted by the words of Jesus,
who said, "true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth" (John 4:32-24). Absent from our
services is the frenzied emotionalism common in so many churches today. Each element of worship finds its
origin in the commands and examples from the New Testament.
SINGING - The entire assembly joins in singing songs, a capella style . There is no band but simple , uplifting
praise through singing . Since we find no evidence in the New Testament that the early church used mechanical
instruments to accompany their singing, we do not use them in our worship . (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16)
PRAYER - The congregation is led in prayer by men in the assembly. We pray, not only to praise and thank
God, but also to ask for our needs and the needs of others . (1 Timothy 2:1-4).
PREACHING - The lessons and sermons are designed to teach God's word so as to encourage compliance by
those who listen. It has become increasingly popular for a preacher to appear sensational by discussing subjects
not revealed in the Bible, and even lay claims to miraculous powers. We offer a period of spiritual Bible teaching
and study.
THE LORDS SUPPER - Like the church of the New Testament times, we partake of the Lord's supper each first
day of the week (Acts 20:7). The supper consists of unleavened bread and fruit of the vine as memorials of the
body and blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 11:20-34).
GIVING AS WE PROSPER - We do not take up a collection every time we meet, but only the first day of the
week (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). Should you attend our Sunday service when the collection is taken, you are not
expected to give. This is the responsibility of our members, not our guests.
