We are an assembly of Christians who seek to worship and serve God in the way that He has directed. To accomplish this, we use the Bible as our guide. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17), that God's Word is the truth (John 17:17), and that it is our responsibility "to speak as the oracles of God" (1 Peter 4:11).
When you visit our assemblies, you'll see a simple yet reverent worship service. This is because we strive to be pleasing to God by only practicing religious activities that can be found in the Bible. We know that human beings can be mistaken, so we don't follow man-made creeds or doctrines. Everything we do in our worship can be found in the Bible as a command from God or as an example of how the Christians worshipped in the New Testament. Jesus said, "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24).
Some of the things you'll see and hear during our worship assemblies:
Preaching the Word of God
Since the knowledge of God's Word is so critically important to every Christian, preaching is a central part of our worship assemblies. A sermon is presented by one of our evangelists at each of our worship assemblies on Sunday (10:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.). Please bring your own Bible, or borrow one of ours, and come study the Bible with us.Bible Classes
In addition to the sermons that are presented in our assemblies, we have time devoted to Bible classes on Sunday morning (9:00 a.m.) and Wednesday evening (7:00 p.m.) each week. Classes are available for adults as well as children. While there is value in hearing one individual speak about God's Word (sermons), there is also great value in more interactive and in-depth Bible study. You will be invited to ask questions and participate with us in these studies.Worship in Song
When we assemble to worship, we speak "to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs," with thankfulness in our heart to God (Ephesians 5:19). We sing without the use of musical instruments because we want to please God and worship Him in the way He has directed. We follow the example of Jesus and the instructions we read about in the New Testament. (Colossians 3:16)Prayers To God
God talks to us through the Bible, His word. We talk to God in our prayers. The apostle Paul wrote, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be make known to God" (Philippians 4:6). Prayer is not only part of our daily lives, but it is a vital part of our worship. (Acts 2:42)Communion - The Lord's Supper
The night before His death, Jesus set up a memorial that the Bible calls "a communion" (1 Corinthians 10:16), or the "Lord's Supper". During the Lord's Supper, we are reminded of God's enormous love and Jesus' great sacrifice on the cross. Every first day of the week, (Acts 20:7) we remember Jesus' death by eating a piece of unleavened bread and drinking the fruit of the vine during a portion of our worship. These elements symbolize Jesus' body and His blood, which crucified for the forgiveness of our sins (Matthew 26:26-28). When we do this, we are following the example of the Christians in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).Giving to the Lord
The Lord's church has been instructed to take up a collection for the financial support of the Lord's work. The apostle Paul gave this instruction, "On the first day of every week, let each one of you put aside and save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made with I come." (1 Corinthians 16:2) Therefore, every Sunday we take a collection from our members. In this, we have the privilege of returning to God a part of what He has blessed us with so generously. If you are able to visit our assembly, don't feel obligated in any way to make a contribution to our congregation. When the plate comes by, please feel comfortable just passing it along.
We are always delighted to meet others who are interested in spiritual things.
Please feel free to come and observe our assemblies.
