When's church? How do I get there? Can I bring my baby? What should I wear?
Great questions! We meet every Sunday at 2pm and 4pm. If this page doesn’t answer everything, please feel free to contact us!
What to Expect
The first thing you'll experience is a warm welcome from our congregation. We are always excited whenever someone comes to visit. Our worship service is conducted in a very simple style, unaccompanied by musical instruments. We encourage you to experience this stillness as a call to reverent worship and not to think of it is as the absence of sounds. We live in a world cluttered with a cacophony of noises, and our times of public worship together are made more profound through their simple clarity and times of stillness.
Our worship follows the form of a dialogue. When Christians worship, we are in a dialogue with God. He speaks to us in His Holy Word and we respond to Him with our singing of the Psalms, our praying together in prayers of confession and supplication, and our giving of gifts and offerings to the Lord. You can also expect is a sermon that is faithful to God's Word and chiefly concerned with the explanation and application of God's Holy Word to you and your life. God uses preaching to communicate His glories and grace to us. We believe that the preaching of God's Word is a life-bringing and life-renewing activity because the Holy Spirit applies that Holy Word to our hearts.
We are a psalm singing congregation. This practice arises from the conviction that God has given the Church the Psalms so that they might form the very means by which our praises are brought before God. The Psalms are inspired worship music and they express with immense richness the emotions and experiences of God's people.
We use the “Trinity Psalter.” (you can find the tunes used in this book at https://psalter.org)
Children
We encourage parents to bring their children into the worship service and we make it a priority to include them in the singing, prayers, and the instruction from the Word of God. The children are incorporated into the service and we hear their sounds as a testimony of the zeal for life the Lord gives to children! It is a joyful noise even when it doesn't feel like it. There is also nursery room at the back of the Church for mothers to take their children if they need a quiet space during the service.
