What to Expect at our Worship Gatherings
Doors open at 4:00 pm, when walking into the Main Hall, a member of our welcome team will ask you how many people are in your group you need and direct you to your seat/seats.
The service will begin with an exhortation to worship. Our music team will then use contemporary songs, hymns, and Scripture to help us see, feel, and proclaim the love, goodness, and majesty of God in Jesus Christ – and to have a fresh experience of His grace. One of our elders will share announcements and prayers. Then we will receive teaching from the Word of God that aims at being biblically faithful, hope-giving, and life-changing. At the end of the message, we will worship in song, then one of our elders will close by giving some announcements and a benediction.
