Singing
We, as a congregation, use our voices only as a form of worship to God and speak to one another in songs (Ephesians 5:19). Singing is an expression of praise in which every Christian in the assembly has the opportunity to participate. Because the human voice is the greatest instrument given by God and only one authorized in the New Testament, you will notice there will not be any other musical instruments utilized in our song services. |

Praying
We pray to our heavenly Father every time we are together as saints (Acts 2:42). We pray for God’s guidance, pray for the physical and spiritual needs of the congregation and pray that His will and work will be accomplished through the church, which is His body (Colossians 1:18). |

Communion
Every first day of the week, as instructed by our Lord, we observe communion, or the Lord’s supper (Acts 20:7). This is a special time for saints to focus on the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus that made God’s plan for salvation complete. This involves eating the bread and drinking the fruit of the vine which represents the body and blood of Jesus. It is also a symbol of our unity as the body of Christ, the church (Matthew: 26: 26-28). |

Offering
We have a voluntary offering to the Lord each Sunday (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). As a guest, you are not expected to give but it is expected of members to give as they are able (1 Timothy 6:17-19). Our donations go to vital work in India, Africa, and the local Backpack Project, as well as local benevolence and building maintenance and use. |

Studying God's Word
We have Bible Class at 9:30 on Sundays for all ages. During the worship service at 10:30, we hear a lesson from God’s word, the Bible (2 Timothy 2:2; Acts 20:7; 2 Timothy 3:16). The Bible and only the Bible is the foundation of our lives. The sermons are taken directly from the scriptures with a focus on a practical application in our daily life. Our local members take turns doing the preaching. God has blessed us with willing men who let God teach and lead them. |

Fellowship to Encourage Each Other
We strive to worship our God in spirit and in truth. Our aim is to honor God, remember all that our Lord has done for mankind, to edify each other and to encourage each other to live more Godly lives. (1 Thessalonians 5:11). Every month, we have a fellowship meal following services on the third Sunday. We welcome you to join us as we continue on our journey to our heavenly home. |
