Our Sunday Assembly

Each Sunday the church gathers together to focus on God as we attempt to encourage and spur one another on to love and good works (Hebrews 10:25). Following are descriptions in more detail of ways by which we attempt to accomplish this.

Singing
One of the first things you will notice is that our singing is largely congregational and unaccompanied by instrumental music. This method honors the historical traditions of our heritage in the Restoration movement tradition and the tradition of the Christian church for the first several centuries when they assembled together. Our singing is lead by a Praise Team that uses the talents of both men and women.

Preaching
The proclamation of the good news of the gospel of Christ is an element of our assembly. Preaching is an opportunity to proclaim Jesus through a variety of Old and New Testament texts. The primary objective of preaching is not instructional but experiential. Our classes provide in-depth examination and instruction in Scripture. The objective of preaching is to help you hear and experience the promises and demands of the gospel in your contemporary situation.

The Lord's Supper
Each Sunday we share in the Lord's Supper. This is much more than custom. Jesus instituted this meal with His disciples on the night of His arrest as part of the Passover meal. Taking of the unleavened bread and "fruit of the vine" in remembrance of our Lord is His command and gift to us. In keeping this meal regularly, we find an opportunity for communion with our Lord and one another, an opportunity for reflection and transformation, and an opportunity to experience the death of Christ for us until He returns.

Gender Inclusive
After many years of studying and prayerfully reflecting on women’s roles in our public gatherings, our church family concluded that part of being true to Scripture was to include women in various capacities while embracing unity and peace. The result is that both men and women share in the responsibilities of serving during our assembly through Communion, Bible Reading, Prayer and Testimony.
