Sundays
We gather each week for worship, word, and sacrament.
Worship
While the Bible teaches that worship is certainly more than singing songs, it is not less than that. Throughout history, God’s people have gathered to sing their praise, declare their deepest held beliefs, and to lament both their sin and their suffering. We believe that when we gather to sing praises to God in the presence of the church we are doing what we were made for, both now and forever. Typically we’ll sing between six and seven songs on a Sunday consisting of both hymns and more modern tunes.
Word
From the initial call-to-worship to our confession and assurance, to the sermon being preached, everything we do on Sunday morning is shaped by the timeless truth of God’s authoritative Word. Our practice is to preach through, verse-by-verse, the books of the Bible, though occasionally we’ll take time to speak more pointedly about specific topics and issues from a Biblical perspective. If you don’t have a Bible, we have Bible’s available at the back Connect table, but will also put the verses on the screen to help you follow along.
Sacrament
As a church in the Protestant tradition, we agree with the New City Catechism when it says, “The sacraments or ordinances given by God and instituted by Christ, namely baptism and the Lord’s Supper, are visible signs and seals that we are bound together as a community of faith by his death and resurrection. By our use of them the Holy Spirit more fully declares and seals the promises of the gospel to us.”
Each Sunday morning, we regularly observe the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. This sacrament is for all those who profess Christ as Lord and seek to live their life in submission to his kingship.
Our baptism services are typically held on Easter Sunday.
