“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24).
Our worship is simple and is based entirely on what is taught in the New Testament.
Singing
We will sing together. You will probably be familiar with most of the hymns and are invited to join with us in the singing. One man will lead the congregation in song. All singing is a cappella (without instrumental accompaniment).
Prayer
Men in the congregation will lead in prayers.
A Sermon
There will be a sermon, Christ-centered and designed teach and uplift all who are present. You are urged to take notes and check what you hear against what the Bible says. There is never any attempt to teach anything profound or mysterious, just simple Bible truths.
An Invitation
At the close of the sermon, those who wish to become Christians are invited to make this known by coming to the front of the assembly. There will be no singling out of visitors or anyone present; no one will be asked to raise their hand or stand. No one will go about the audience urging people to come forward. Neither the worship, nor the invitation, are designed to embarrass, but rather to teach.
The Lord’s Supper
During the worship, the Lord’s Supper, or Communion, will be served by the men of the congregation. The New Testament teaches that Christians, members of the Lord’s church, are to do this on the first day of each week (Acts 20:7). You will not be asked or expected to do so but may if you wish.
Contribution
A contribution will be taken because the church is commanded to do this on the first day of the week (I Cor. 16:2). As our guest, you are not asked or expected to give. Do not feel embarrassed to pass the plate to your neighbor or the men serving.
