10:30 AM WORSHIP – The worship service is a casual celebration that weaves together historical elements of traditional worship with various styles of familiar music (e.g., classic hymns, top 100 contemporary songs, gospel songs, and spirituals) to create a service where people are invited to:

Renew Your Connect with God and Others in Trusted and Meaningful Ways.
Hear Heartfelt, Relevant, Simple Teaching from the Bible.
Practice Everyday Advice to help You Flourish.
Experience the Christian Story as Your Faith Story!
Enjoy Uplifting Songs of Praise to God.
Deep Authentic Faith and Invitations to Community Service

Worship leaders draw together elements from ancient biblical worship (for example, confessions, lectionary scriptures, litanies, responsive readings, unison prayers), the Reformed tradition  – particularly the Protestant Reformation and Evangelical Renewal Movement – in an atmosphere of casual dress and relaxed customs. 

HOLY ORDINANCES – We celebrate two sacred acts ordered by Jesus Christ:

BELIEVER’S BAPTISM – Believer’s Baptism is the immersion of a person in the water – regardless of age – who receives Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and publicly professes faith to walk the Jesus way. The Council schedules baptisms on Sunday mornings throughout the year.  Believers may be baptized in the church baptistry, in the river, a swimming pool, a pond, or a lake.  Please contact the Minister if you would like to be baptized or come to the front of the Sanctuary during the last song in a worship service.

YES! I want to be BAPTIZED or JOIN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

THE LORD’S SUPPER – The Lord’s Supper or Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month and on special occasions. We practice Open Communion, which means all persons of faith, regardless of age, race, gender, membership, denominational affiliation, or church tradition, are welcome to partake of the Table of the Lord. In solidarity with our struggling brothers and sisters, we use only non-alcoholic grape juice. Please hold each element until everyone is served. Then, we will feast together. Gluten-free wafers are available upon request.

Call the Church Office to speak with the Minister if you have concerns or questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
