What to Expect

ATTIRE:

We’re not overly concerned with this. Most of the men wear slacks while many of the women wear casual dresses/slacks. We absolutely do not want this to serve as a hindrance to attendance. However, the public worship of God is a serious occasion, and we feel it appropriate to dress for that occasion.

MUSIC:

Our style is simple and traditional with some instrumentation. We believe that our primary instrument is the unified voice of the congregation. We desire corporate participation over an impressive performance. We sing hymns and Psalms from the Trinity Psalter Hymnal in an attempt to be biblically accurate, God-glorifying, and gospel-saturated.

WHAT TO BRING:

We spend a lot of time in the Scriptures so we encourage you to bring a Bible. If you do not own a Bible, we’d love to give you one when you arrive. If you’re a notetaker (we have many), please feel comfortable bringing a notebook and pen as well.

COMMUNION:

We practice a weekly observance of communion as a part of our service. We use unleavened bread and wine for the elements of the supper. As a dual-practice church, we practice both paedocommunion and believer’s communion administered by qualified elders, a decision of practice we believe should be made by the head-of-household (the father, if present), along with guidance from the Elders, so long as those participating in the supper understand it is to be reserved for those who are baptized members of a believing body of Christians and are under the care and authority of Christ and His Church.

CHILDREN:

We are a family integrated church because we believe that children are an important part of God’s covenant family. For this reason we do not have a children’s ministry during the service. Our pastor is comfortable competing with active children during the sermon. We want you to feel comfortable too! We are accustomed to active little ones, but we also understand the occasional need to excuse yourself and your child during the service.

MEAL:

We have a fellowship meal every Sunday following the service. This is always a great time of conversation and laughter over delicious food. We would love for you to stay and break bread with us. The food is provided by members of the church and you are not expected to provide anything.
