What to Expect

Most wear business casual dress. However, some men wear coats and ties and some wear blue jeans or shorts. Women are about equally split between pants and dresses or skirts.

 

Our worship style is blended, both as to musical style and worship elements. Traditional hymns are often sung, using either the traditional musical accompaniment or a more contemporary arrangement. The worship service includes traditional elements such as responsive readings, recitation of creeds (ancient statements of belief) and praying the Lord’s Prayer. But it also includes informal elements like a testimony time and spontaneous prayer by the congregation. 

 

Worship is all about God, and not about us. People are helped most when they remember that God is at the center of life and when they give him the honor that is due him. So our worship is Christ-centered and grace-oriented.

 

The early service lasts one hour and the late service one hour and fifteen minutes.

 

The majority of sermons are expositional rather than topical. An expositional sermon explains and applies a particular part of the Bible rather than focusing on a topic addressed in the Bible. Topical sermons are helpful, but we believe people are helped more by learning the Bible in a systematic and focused way. Sermons generally last 30 minutes.

 

Not normally. There are occasional Sunday evening services for various purposes. They will be noted in the church calendar.

 

The median age of all church members, including children, is 29. If children are excluded, the median age of all adults is 45. There are about 150 children and young people from infant through age 18.

 

Membership is about 350, and average Sunday attendance in both services is slightly below that.
