Our Service...

Our Worship in Song

Everyone is encouraged to participate in the singing as we praise God and Christ.  As we sing, we want our spirits to commune with God through His Spirit. We pray that you will find the music both beautiful and meaningful.

Prayer and Scripture Reading

Through prayer and reading the Bible, we talk to and listen to God.  During worship, selected men will lead us in these activities. Most worshipers participate by simply bowing their heads during the prayer; however, you are welcome to assume whatever submissive posture you are comfortable with in prayer.  You are encouraged to follow the Bible readings in your own Bible or one of the Bibles provided in the pews.

Sermon

We have an exhortation that helps to focus on building a stronger spiritual life. Most Sundays our minister, Dale Harlow, delivers the sermon.

Song of Meditation and Commitment

At the conclusion of the sermon, we sing a song to allow for each of us to think about our relationship with God and the many ways He enriches our lives. People are invited to respond by coming to the front of the auditorium for immersion for the forgiveness of their sins, prayer, or to indicate a desire to become a member of our church family. We understand that Christ’s invitation is open every day, every hour. Any time is an appropriate time for prayer or baptism.

The Lord’s Supper

Each Sunday we remember Jesus’ sacrifice and celebrate our resulting freedom from sin by participating together in the Lord’s Supper, or Communion.  During this memorial, plates containing unleavened bread pass throughout the congregation.  This bread represents the “body of Christ” which as the Apostle Paul teaches, corresponds to the church. Participants will pick up a piece, eat it, and meditate upon their relationship with the church for which Jesus sacrificed Himself. Next, trays filled with individual cups are distributed.  These cups contain grape juice that represents “the new covenant in Jesus’ blood.” Each participant drinks the contents of one cup, replaces the cup in the tray, and remembers the promise they made with God during their immersion for their sins’ forgiveness.  The Lord’s Supper is offered to baptized believers each Sunday as Jesus commanded.

Weekly Contribution

Each Sunday, plates are passed to collect the weekly tithe and offerings of our members which support the many ministries here at our church and elsewhere. The work of this congregation is the responsibility of its members so our guests should not feel it is necessary to contribute.
