Sunday School

Several of our men teach Sunday School class. Each teacher covers a portion of a quarter, and then we rotate teachers. This allows for a variety of topics to be addressed as each man seeks direction from the Lord. We are careful to keep our studies centered on the Word of God.

There is also a Sunday School class for young children.

Sunday Morning Worship Service

PRELUDE

Several stanzas of a hymn are played to allow the congregation to quiet their hearts and prepare themselves to worship the LORD.

Call to worship

Service is begun by a reading of a portion of blessed truth from the Word of God. The Scripture reading is comprised of a few verses prayerfully selected by our Pastor, and are pertinent either to the message to follow, or to the needs of the congregation.

Opening Prayer

We are led in brief prayer inviting the LORD's blessing on our service, giving thanks for His goodness.

Pastoral Prayer

Scripture teaches us that worship must include entreaties, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings made on behalf of all men (1 Timothy 2:1). We are led to the throne of grace by our Pastor as we join with him quietly from our hearts and beseech the LORD to do great and mighty things. We seek His blessing not only for our services and our congregation, but also for our nation and the gospel ministry throughout the world.

Reception of Tithes and Offerings

We are privileged to give to the LORD and to His work a portion of what He has given to us. The Scripture teaches that believers must give as they have purposed in their hearts, not grudgingly or under compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7).

Music

We sing to the LORD and thereby encourage ourselves and one another, using traditional hymns and gospel songs accompanied by piano, organ, or both. We believe that music, like any other aspect of a believer's life, must be holy -- which means 'set apart.' Therefore we use songs that have texts and tunes that are distinct from secular and contemporary Christian music.

Message

We give careful attention to the words of God. We believe the Bible does not contain the Word of God; it is the Word of God. Through careful exegesis, and exposition based on sound hermeneutics, we proclaim the truths of God's Word making applications to ourselves so that we can be increasingly conformed to the image of Jesus Christ as we behold Him in the pages of Scripture (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Sunday Evening Service

Our evening service is less formal than our morning service. We begin by meeting for fellowship prior to the service. Light refreshments are provided. For the evening service, we occupy a section of the lower level of the church or Fellowship Hall, sing, and study God's Word together. Sometimes the study is accompanied by a short video or presentation.

Prayer Meeting

We meet in the Pastor's study for prayer. After spending a brief time studying the Scriptures or a word of encouragement, we pray for one another's needs and for our missionaries.
