The services generally begin with singing. The song leader will welcome all to the services and invite everyone to take a hymn book and turn to a specific number. You will find hymn books on the back of the pew directly in front of you. Once the number is announced we invite you to turn to that number and sing along with us. The songs are normally posted on the front page of the bulletin for everyone’s convenience in case you miss the song leader’s announcement.
You will discover our music is done without any musical instrument accompaniments, solos, choirs, or praise teams. We seek to worship God according to the New Testament pattern found in Colossians 3:16, and since the New Testament only authorizes singing, that's what we choose to do. This type of singing is called, a cappella, or without musical accompaniment. You may find this to be unusual. It is our desire to pattern our worship service after the first century Christians. Those Christians chose not to use mechanical instruments of music for their worship and neither do we.
