Each Sunday we will have what we call our weekly gathering. This is the most important meeting for our church every week. It’s where we come together to encourage each other, to listen to God’s word to us, and to respond to what we have heard. God’s word is central to this gathering.
We will sing the Bible. Each of our songs expresses some truth about the good news about Jesus. Each one is aimed both at God, in worship, and at the same time, each one is aimed at one another, so that in our singing we can remind each other of the promises of God.
We will pray the Bible. Each week, you will see multiple elders and deacons offer public prayers based on what God says about himself in the Bible. So, you will hear prayers of confession and thanksgiving because we know that God has forgiven us in Jesus Christ. You will also hear requests to God, where we are asking God to meet our needs as the Bible teaches us to do.
We will listen to the Bible. Central to our gathering is a sermon delivered by one of our pastors that will either go verse-by-verse through a particular passage of Scripture or summarize and explain a particular principle in Scripture. We want to understand what God has done, has spoken, and expects from those who follow Jesus.
