What To Expect

A warm welcome

The members of the congregation love to meet visitors and warmly welcome them to our assemblies. You can expect to be greeted with kindness and genuine interest.

“Let all things be done decently and in order”
- 1 Corinthians 14:40

Bible Classes

In our main auditorium class, we study various books of the Bible and topics from a biblical perspective. The studies are orderly, but open to discussion. Questions are asked by the teacher and answers from multiple people is common.

Worship Services

Our worship assemblies are reverent and orderly. We are aware that as we gather we are in the presence of God and must show the respect due Him. During our Sunday service we follow the New Testament teaching and examples regarding worship that include:

  • Prayer (Acts 2:42; 1 Timothy 2:1-8)
  • Singing (Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:19)
  • The Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:23-26; Acts 20:7)
  • Collection from Members (1 Corinthians 16:1, 2)
  • Teaching (Acts 20:7; 2 Timothy 4:1-5)

For some people visiting one of our services will feel like going back to “old times” or what their grandparents did. In other words, it will feel like “church” used to be, not a modern-day entertainment production akin to a rock concert.

If you want to get back to the Bible, dig in to Scripture with us, learn and grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord, then you will feel at home with us (2 Peter 3:18).

The Spirit of Faith

What kept Paul going when everything was stacked against him? In this sermon from 2 Corinthians 4, we examine the “spirit of faith” that drove the apostle — a conviction so deep it compelled him to speak and act no matter the cost. We watch Paul renounce sin, resist Satan, and preach Christ rather than himself, all while being hard-pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down — but never crushed, never in despair, never forsaken, and never destroyed. We see how Paul’s suffering brought life to others, and how the treasure of the gospel was delivered through fragile earthen vessels so that the power would clearly belong to God. This lesson challenges us to ask: do we have the same spirit of faith, or have we traded commitment for convenience?
