What to Expect When Visiting Us
Singing:
We will sing several songs and hymns together, led by one or more song leaders. These will be sung acapella (without the accompaniment of musical instruments). We sing in this manner because it follows the pattern of the first century church and this is the only kind of music authorized in the New Testament for worship.
Ephesians 5:19 "speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,"
The Lords Supper:
We partake of the Lord’s Supper each Sunday, following the pattern of the first century church.
Acts 20:7 "Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight."
In partaking of the Lord’s Supper we remember the Lord’s death until He comes again.
Giving:
We give a donation for the work of the church each first day of the week, realizing that God has richly blessed each of us. The church supports many good works that require financial support.
1st Corinthians 16:2 "On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come."
Prayer:
During the worship service several of the men will lead the congregation in public prayers.
Acts 2:42 "And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Bible Study:
We engage in Bible study, primarily through preaching of the Word, but also through Bible reading and direct teaching.
2nd Timothy 4:1–2 "I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching."
