Meeting times:

Classes

We offer interactive, discussion-based Bible classes for all ages on Sundays and Thursdays. Personal one-on-one or group studies are also available upon request. See our contact page for ways to get in touch with us.

Matthew 28.19-20: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Singing

We sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs in order to worship God as well as to teach and exhort one another. This is something we read God's people doing in both the Old and New Testaments.

Psalm 89.1: I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

Colossians 3.16: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Sermon

Our public worship services include a sermon which, based on the word of God, presents lessons to inform all who are present of the will of God and their need to be obedient to it.

1 Timothy 4.13: Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 

2 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: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

The Lord's Supper

Every Sunday, we remember the Lord's death, burial, resurrection, looking forward to his return, and we do so by partaking of the Lord's Supper.

The Supper consists of unleavened bread which to Christians is the body of Christ and the fruit of the vine which represents the blood of Christ shed upon the cross.

Matthew 26:26-28. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body. 27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."

1 Corinthians 11.26: For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

Prayer

Prayer allows us to communicate our needs and thanksgivings to our God. We pray a number of times during our services. We do so to draw near to God and for God to be a part of what we are doing. Prayer has been and continues to be essential in the lives of the people of God.

Jeremiah 33.2-3: Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it-the Lord is his name: Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

James 5:16. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Collection

During Sunday morning services, we take up a collection of funds to be used to help needy saints and to continue the work of the church. Visitors are not expected to give and should not feel any pressure to do so.

1 Corinthians 16.1-2: Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.
