Join us for Worship on
Sundays!
Listed below is the basic order of our worship service, which follows the "ACTS" model (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, & Supplication) along with the "Ministry of the Word". Our worship service emphasizes the following: the public reading of Scripture, the holiness of God, praising God in hymns and spiritual songs,
the leading of the Holy Spirit,
intercessory prayer, testimonies & God speaking thru the body of Christ, worshipping Christ in communion, monthly mission
updates, affirming our faith thru public readings (of Scripture and the Creeds), worshipping God thru offerings, the family worshipping together (for part of the service), biblical teaching for children (during the Sermon),
and the priority of expository preaching (with
the on-going proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ). If you desire to
learn more about becoming a Christian or do not have a home church in this
