Services...

 

Our worship services are based on the Bible; we read from it, preach from it and even sing from it.  The other element of our services is prayer.  Before we enter the service there is an opportunity to give back to God part of what he has given to us by means of a monetary offering.  These offerings are presented to God as an act of worship by the minister in prayer.

 

> reading

We have at least one reading from the Bible in each of our services so that God can speak to us through his word.  Readings are from the English Standard Version of the Bible.

 

> prayer

The minister or one of the elders leads the congregation in prayer.  We praise God and thank him for his goodness to us, and we confess our sins.  We also pray for our own congregation, the wider community and the world at large.

 

> preaching

The minister explains the teaching from God’s word and applies it to the 21st century.

 

> singing

We sing Psalms at every service as well as doctrinally sound hymns. Though we sometimes use musical instruments the singing is often unaccompanied.
