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).

He Was Reviled

What does it reveal about the world when the Savior of mankind is mocked, insulted, and scorned on the cross? In this lesson from Mark 15:21-32, we examine how Jesus was reviled during His crucifixion — by politicians, religious leaders, common citizens, soldiers, and even the thieves dying beside Him. These groups, each charged with upholding justice or serving God, instead became instruments of contempt against the innocent Lamb of God. This stark picture of Satan's influence in the world carries a warning for us today: we cannot count on worldly institutions to uphold what is right, and we must be careful not to revile Christ ourselves through sin. Yet even in the face of such hatred, faithful women stood watching with love and reverence — an example for us to trust God, commit to truth, and hold to the promise of victory through the resurrection.
