Our Assemblies
Members Login

Our public worship services are God-centered.  Our primary attraction in the public assembly is the Lord.  We approach him to give Him glory, to confess our sins, and to learn of His ways.  But we also assemble for another purpose-to strengthen each other.  In all of our public assemblies, visitors are welcome.

 
Lord's Supper

Every Sunday, the first day of the week, we observe the Lord's supper.  This is a memorial meal, not a common meal.  As we eat the bread and drink the cup, we remember the body and blood of Jesus, the Son of God, Who offered his life as a sacrifice for our sins.

 
Song Worship

Our weekly services also include singing Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.  All members praise God and sing to one another, as our song worship is congregational rather than choir-based.  The repertoire is designed more for worship than for entertainment, and thus it appeals more to worshippers than to singers.  We sing old hymns and new hymns, as well as some gospel and contemporary songs-whatever is effective in praise and edification.  Our musical instruments include our hearts and our lips.

 
Teaching and Preaching

Our services also include teaching and preaching.  We hold Bible classes for all ages on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights.  The lesson material ranges from expository to topical, as teachers explore teachings in God’s word and offer applications for godly living.  We also have regular sermons in which our preachers instruct, correct, and encourage the church.  Examples of these sermons are posted this website.  All of our teachers and preachers regard the Bible as God’s inspired word.  They strive to help us understand the ways of God with the ultimate purpose of glorifying Him, nurturing our souls, and helping others do the same.

 
Collection

We take up a collection on Sundays, the first day of the week.  The collection is not a solicitation of funds from visitors.  It is voluntary and considered a privilege for each member.  The funds are not hoarded but are used to fulfill the purpose of the local church—teaching the lost, building up the membership, and addressing benevolent needs.  About two-thirds of our treasury is spent on local and international evangelism.
