Services start promptly Sundays at 1:30pm and Tuesdays at 7:00pm, but you're welcome to come up to 30 minutes early for pre-service prayer, which is the most important preparation for service.
Our dress code ranges from casual to formal depending on individual preferences and on the services. On Sundays, the typical attire of most of the congregation is more formal (e.g., suits/ties for men), but Tuesdays are much more casual, especially since many are coming directly from work. However you choose to dress, we just ask that it be modest and appropriate as is fit for entertaining the King of kings.
1. Our Sunday services include singing/worship, giving, preaching, and a time of prayer at the conclusion. The total duration is approximately 1.5 hours.
2. Our Tuesday midweek Bible study is usually more informal and is approximately 1-1.5 hours.
3.Although Bible-toting and note-taking are strongly encouraged, during the service screens will help you follow along in singing and in reading scripture.
4. Following each of our services, we believe in sticking around and spending quality time getting to know one another (i.e., fellowshipping), usually while drinking coffee and sometimes eating donuts or having cake on Birthday Sundays (the last Sunday of the month).
AS A SPIRIT-FILLED, BIBLE-BASED CHURCH, WE SEEK TO WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH ACCORDING TO WORSHIP PRACTICES FOUND IN THE BIBLE.
We raise our hands because 1 Timothy 2:8 says:“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands.”
We clap our hands because Psalm 47:1 says:“O clap your hands, all ye people.”
We sing and play music because Psalm 150 says to praise God with musical instruments and Ephesians 5:19 says to worship:“in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord”
We worship with a joyful noise because Psalm 66:1 says:“Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands.”
We pray aloud because the early church in Acts 4:24:“lifted up their voice to God with one accord” in prayer.
We dance in the Spirit because Psalm 149:3 says:“Let them praise his name in the dance.”
We include testimonials, teaching, preaching, and spiritual gifts that build up the body of Christ because 1 Corinthians 14:26 says:“Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation” (NKJV).
We anoint with oil and lay hands on the sick for divine healing because James 5:14 says:“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.”
