Let’s talk worship.

We gather for worship from various walks of life. We come together with different assumptions about who God is and how to approach God. Some of us are lifelong Presbyterians who are very familiar with a traditional Reformed worship service, while others of us have recently come to appreciate this particular form of worship.

Wherever you are on the journey, we hope that you feel welcomed and at home in our church. Perhaps you have never been to church (or have only been a handful of times) and fear that you will not know what to do, how to act, or what to say. Be assured: this church is for people just like you.

People tend to get caught up in where they should worship, what music they should sing in worship, and how their worship looks to other people. Focusing on these things misses the point. Jesus tells us that true worshipers will worship God in spirit and in truth. This means we worship from the heart and the way God has designed.

It is easy enough to pretend to worship. All the forms are well known: raised hands, bowed head, bent knees. The jargon of praise is easily learned. Songs are easy enough if you can carry a tune. But something should tell us that it is not that easy. Not really. Not in truth.

Worship can include praying, reading God’s Word with an open heart, singing, participating in communion, and serving others. It is not limited to one act, but is done properly when the heart and attitude of the person are in the right place. True worship is God-centered worship. “God is spirit, and it is necessary to worship God in spirit and truth.” John 4:24

We come together each Sunday morning to worship God, pray, listen for the Word of God in preaching, and be with one another. Our gatherings are our opportunity to express our faith together. Our hope is that when we gather, our services will allow us to meditate together on the truths of the Gospel: God’s beauty and holiness, our brokenness and need for humility, grace, and healing, and the glory of Christ in uniting us to God and to one another. All are welcome at our gatherings, and we encourage you to come as you are.

We use a variety of prayers , music, and visual arts to offer our lives before God in the name of Christ. Children are an integral part of our worship life and are welcome to participate and lead us in worship.

True worship is constant, inner praise to the God of Scripture, expressed in prayer, in song, in service, in giving, and in living.
