Before our worship service to the Lord begins, we take some time to welcome all our members and visitors, introduce ourselves, and update members on recent activities that have or will be undertaken by the congregation.  We identify needs any members of the congregation may have, especially those who are physically unable to attend or have ongoing health concerns.  We also take this time to identify opportunities for members to serve one another.  We solicit prayer request from our members and for any members who may be traveling to include safe travels to all our visitors.

The early Christians were encouraged to go everywhere telling about Jesus. We continue to do that today and you will find preaching to be an integral part of the worship service. At each worship assembly a sermon will be presented from God’s Word. The goals of such lessons vary. For example, sometimes they are meant to encourage, other times they are specific teaching tools. Often they help motivate us as Christians to live in service to the Master. 

Lewis Wells is our full time evangelist. We also have multiple members who are qualified to teach God’s Word. In contrast to what is often seen in religious organizations, these individuals do not carry the title of Pastor or Reverend. You will observe that they are not dressed in religious clothing that would call attention to their role. We refrain from such practice because the New Testament church did not do such; they identified the person proclaiming the message as simply a minister, evangelist or servant. His goal is to preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15), preach to every nation (Matthew 28:19), preach the gospel to the lost (Acts 5:42), and he should edify and exhort the church (2 Timothy 4:2, Ephesians 4:11 & 12). Many of these responsibilities apply to all Christians.

Paramount in every worship service is the opportunity for individuals to become a Christians. With that in mind, we teach what God requires us to do to become a Christian at all assemblies. In conjunction with this teaching, we invite individuals to become Christians each time we meet for worship. Scripture teaches that to become a Christian we must hear his Word (Rom. 10:13-17), believe that Christ is our savior (Mark 16:16), repent of our sins (Acts 17:30), confess His name (Matt. 10:32-33) and be baptized (Acts 2:38).

When you visit with us you may see someone respond to this invitation. They may want to change their life by becoming a Christian. Or, the respondent may be a Christian who has not been living for the Master and wishes forgiveness from God and the supporting prayers of members. You may also see a member respond who simply wants the members to pray for him or her.

At the end of every church service, there is a closing prayer. It is another opportunity we take to give thanks in unity and express our gratitude to Almighty God for his presence as we ask for His blessings. More love, peace, wisdom, guidance, protection, clear purpose, empower us to love and serve, and action with our prayer, thanksgiving for all that we accomplish, one in the Spirit, God’s grace be with us always providing the members with biblical inspiration to live out their faith journey after the service concludes. Our formal worship to the Lord God concludes at the completion of the closing prayer.
