This is when the entire family meets for worship and mutual encouragement. We are committed to conducting our services in a way that is clearly authorized in the Bible. Though our personal tastes and preferences may vary, only by obeying Scripture can we be sure that what we do is what God wants.
The Lord’s Supper: We observe the Lord’s Supper each Sunday because of the New Testament example and the fundamental nature of the Lord’s death and resurrection call us to do so. (Acts 20: 7; I Corinthians 11: 23-26). Visitors are welcome to participate with us in the observance of the Lord’s Supper.
The Offering: Every Sunday, members are invited to contribute financially to support the activities of the church family (I Corinthians 16: 1-2). If you care to contribute, that’s fine, but as our guest, it’s not necessary.
The Preaching: The sermon will last 20 to 30 minutes and is intended to present Bible teaching that will guide and strengthen family members through the week.
The Singing: Everyone is invited to sing. This privilege is not limited to a select group or choir. Since the New Testament never mentions instrumental accompaniment for the hymns sung by Christians, we follow that example. A cappella singing has a unique beauty and is truly praise from the heart of each participant.
The Prayers: Prayers will be led that express to God thoughts that concern the entire group. We make a special effort to pray for the personal needs, both physical and spiritual, of people.
The Announcements: In a family, sharing news is important. Items such as congregational events, personal items and prayer needs are shared with the church family.
Transportation to and from services can be arranged by calling the church office Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m
