Our Assembly and Worship

Our assemblies are simple, spiritual, and orderly, key-noted by the words of Jesus, who said, "true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth" (John 4:23-24). Each element of worship finds its origin in the commands and examples found in the New Testament.

SINGING

The entire assembly joins in singing gospel songs. There are no choirs or special groups, but simple congregational singing; neither do we use mechanical instruments to accompany our singing (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16).

PRAYER

The congregation is led in prayer, not only to praise and thank God, but also to ask Him to satisfy our needs and the needs of others (1 Timothy 2:1-4).

PREACHING

Our lessons and sermons are designed to teach God's word so as to encourage compliance by those who listen. We believe the Bible contains all knowledge necessary to perform every good work (2 Timothy 3:16). There are those who would teach subjects not in the Bible (2 Timothy 4:1-4), but we simply preach the word of God.

THE LORD'S SUPPER

We partake of the Lord's supper each first day of the week (Acts 20:7). The supper consists of unleavened bread and fruit of the vine as memorials of the body and blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 11:20-26).

GIVING AS WE PROSPER

We do not take up a collection every time we meet, but only on the first day of the week (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). Should you attend our Sunday service when the collection is taken, you are not expected to give. This is the responsibility of our members, not our guests.
