What to Expect During a Worship Service
Our assemblies are simple, focused, and centered on God. A typical Sunday includes:
- Singing – We sing acapella (without instruments), lifting our voices together in praise.
- Prayer – Several prayers are offered throughout the service, thanking God and seeking His guidance.
- Scripture Reading – God’s Word is read aloud to shape and guide our worship.
- Sermon – A biblical, practical message designed to help us grow in faith and live as followers of Jesus.
- Communion (Lord’s Supper) – Every Sunday, we remember Christ’s sacrifice by sharing bread and cup, following the example of the early church.
- Offering – Members contribute to the work of the church. Visitors are not expected or pressured to give — your presence is the gift we value most.
Children & Youth
- Bible classes for children and youth are offered during the 9:30 AM Bible class hour.
- For parents with infants or toddlers, space is available if you need to step out with your child.
- Children are always welcome in the worship assembly — we’re glad to have them with us!
Special Sundays
- First Sunday Potluck – On the first Sunday of every month, we share a potluck meal (a meal where everyone brings a dish to share). It’s a relaxed time to eat together, meet people, and build community. If you’re visiting on a first Sunday, don’t worry about bringing anything — you are our guest, and we simply want you to stay and enjoy the meal with us.
- Fifth Sunday Prayer Service – When a month has five Sundays, we dedicate the morning assembly to prayer. Instead of a formal sermon, we spend extended time in community-guided prayer for one another, our neighbors, and the world.
What We Don’t Expect
- You won’t be singled out or asked to introduce yourself publicly.
- You won’t be pressured to give money.
- You’re free to simply observe or participate as you feel comfortable.
