Brief History
Our history is in the “Restoration Movement.” Our goal is to look as much like the New Testament church as is possible in our time. We strive to be a Bible-centered church because we believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We know our conclusions are not flawless and that our practices are sometimes colored by habit, preference, tradition, or convenience. Even so, we hold the Bible as our only guide in religious matters.

Worship/Music
There are song books on the back of the pew in front of you. The music is usually printed as a booklet in your Worship Bulletin, or you can read the lyrics projected on the screen at the front. One of the unique things about churches of Christ is that the music is a cappella. That is, we sing without any accompaniment from music instruments, but everyone is invited to participate!

Scripture/Prayer
Spoken prayers are a large part of our gatherings, as we believe in the power of prayer. As a church attempting to base itself solely on the Bible, we place great importance upon the reading of Scriptures during our services. We believe that God’s word is inspired and powerful, regardless of who is reading it. Whether we are speaking to God or He is speaking to us through His word, we always try to approach these times of prayer and Scripture reading in a spirit of respect and reverence.

The Invitation
Inviting worshipers to make a commitment to Jesus will be a part of the sermon. The preaching minister will “extend an invitation” and encourage those who wish to respond to come to the front. Some may respond to confess sins, others to ask for prayer or to place membership with this church. The senior minister or an elder will explain the person’s request to the church and lead a prayer on the person’s behalf. Some may respond for baptism. If so, you will witness the baptism during the service. The baptism will be by immersion in water for the remission of sins.

The Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper will be included in the worship service every Sunday. The reason for this is our desire to follow New Testament practice. This is a time when Christians remember the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and a time to reflect, remember, and prioritize our lives around the loving sacrifice Jesus offered for us. We encourage all believers to participate with us in this meal, but it is entirely your choice. If you would rather not, feel free to just pass the plate to the person beside you.

Offering
Plates will be passed to collect the weekly financial offering from our members, but as our guest, you are not expected to make a donation. Please feel comfortable in just passing the collection plate on down the row.
