What We Do
Sunday Morning Bible Study at 9:15am - 10:00am - Adults and teens meet together. Children three years old up through sixth grade have graded Bible classes. We have a nursery for birth up to three years old.
Sunday Morning worship Service at 10:30am - Noon - We seek to be God-centered in our worship. He is the audience that we are seeking to please. We believe that in His Word God has revealed what worship is acceptable to Him; therefore we must be faithful, not innovative, when we seek to worship Him. The Scriptures teach that He has ordained the reading and preaching of His Word, prayer, the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and Baptism, and the singing of His praises to be worship which is pleasing to him.
Sunday Evening Worship Service at 6:00pm - 7:00pm - The evening service offers us another chance to proclaim our Lord's Gospel.
Youth Group Meetings - 6:00pm - 8:30pm - Teens meet every other Saturday in homes to study the Bible and Bible-based devotional and doctrinal books. They also fellowship together, sharing what they are learning from the Bible, about the struggles of becoming or being a Christian, about the trials of life, etc. They pray for one another and the needs of the group. They have refreshments and relaxing times as teens just enjoying being together.
Special Prayer Meeting - Each month on the Wednesday evening following Communion Sunday, we have a special prayer meeting for the revival of God's people, spiritual awakening among the slumbering multitudes who sleep the sleep of spiritual death, for the missionaries sent out from among our own congregation who have gone to France, as well as other missionaries we support around the world. This special time of prayer is from 7:00-8:00pm.
The Sacraments - We celebrate the Lord's Supper the last Sunday of each month at the conclusion of the service. The congregation is encouraged to search their hearts the night before that they might not take the Lord's Supper in an unworthy manner. Baptisms of believers are scheduled as we have candidates for baptism.
Wednesday Evening Small Group Meetings - 6:30pm - 8:30pm - These "242" groups are named after the devotional meetings of the first Christians as recorded in Acts 2:42 in the New Testament. We gather together in private homes each week for a covered dish dinner, fellowship with one another, the study of God's Word or a book teaching God's Word by trusted authors, and a time of sharing and prayer. There is usually 10 to 12 to a group to enable the congregation to get to know other families in the church on a more intimate level than can be done on Sundays as an entire congregation.
Men's Spiritual Fitness Group - This group meets each Saturday morning at 7:30am - 8:30am in the Fellowship Hall at the church for worship, prayer, and the sharing of insights from the Bible and Christian books.
Ladies' Morning Fellowship and Study - 9:30am - 11:00am - This group meets each Friday morning. It majors on the study of God's Word, prayer and the sharing of their lives as Christian women. Baby-sitting is available.
Annual Conferences - We have three conferences each year. The Fall Bible Conference examines some aspect of the Christian life. The Winter Family Conference is devoted to equipping us to have biblical marriages and families and the training of our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Finally, we have the Spring Missions Conference to study together what the Scriptures reveal concerning God's missionary heart for this lost world. Past conference speakers have included, among others: Jerry Bridges, Ian Murray, Sinclair Ferguson, Roger Nicole, Martin Holdt, and Walt Chantry.
Missions - We are actively involved in the Reformed Baptist Mission Services (RBMS), an association of like-minded churches working together to help accomplish Christ's Great Commission. We also belong to the Association of Reformed Baptist Churches of America (ARBCA), a national association of Reformed Baptist churches formed to provide a fellowship in which churches of common confession may find mutual encouragement, assistance, edification and counsel, and to participate in cooperative efforts such as ministerial training, publications, and church planting both home and abroad.
