According to Matthew 28:19,20 we are called to go and “make disciples of all nations;” therefore, we believe it is vital to have opportunities to meet with other believers to study God's word and to grow in our faith. We believe all we do when we gather in a large or small group works together holistically to grow believers as disciples of Jesus, which means knowing and living God's Word, the Bible.
Sunday School
This is a one-hour gathering of classes of all ages for the purpose of Bible study and small group fellowship. Most of our adult classes are studying through books of the Bible and some use published curriculum. Sunday School meets from 9:45 -10:45 am.
Sunday Morning Worship
Our 11:00 am worship service normally lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. We sing a blended selection of congregational music, bridging the generations with both hymns and contemporary music with modern musical accompaniment. Our philosophy is that music in worship should be used to bridge the generations, not to divide them. Our pastors preach expository sermons through books of the Bible verse-by-verse.
Sunday Evenings
On Sunday evenings we have a variety of opportunities. Our Quarterly Business Meetings occur typically the third Sunday evening in January, April, July and October. We have our Family Lord's Supper worship typically on the first Sunday evenings of January, March, May, July, September, November. In the months of September through May we have Deeper Dive Small Groups that meet in homes around our community. We offer occasional Core Discipleship Classes that meet at the church, which include instruction on spiritual disciplines, theology, ethics, Christian history, and missions and evangelism. Schedules are published ahead of time. Other than specific training opportunities on some Sunday evenings, our goal is family integration and our emphasis is on building community as disciples.
Wednesday Evenings
The Adult Mid-Week Bible Study is a one-hour Bible study by our Senior Pastor, typically through a book of the Bible. It meets in the sanctuary at 6:15 pm. Youth have their weekly mid-week gathering from 6:00 – 7:30 pm in the youth room. Children participate in Awana Clubs from September to May, 6:00 – 7:30 pm, and from June to August they meet for Kids Truth & Grace (TAG) at 6:15 pm.
