Worship Service Schedule & Styles

We refer to our Sunday services as Divine Services because we acknowledge that there is more going on than our worship. God, Himself, is at work offering us His gifts through the proclamation of the Law and the Gospel. In all of our services we are engaged in a conversation with God, where He gives us the gift of redemption and we respond with our prayers and praise.

Preaching – Our primary goal in preaching is the same that it has been for the prophets of old: to call the sinful to repentance and to proclaim the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection. While we largely follow the liturgical calendar, we also take time to do series on various important topics. Even though we provide bibles in the pew, we encourage people to bring their own bible so they can follow along with us and have a chance to write down any insights on a particular passage.

  • Worship Service Schedule
    • Classic Praise Divine Service (Saturday 5:30 PM) – Hear God speak to you through words passed down through the centuries. In this service we are embraced by God through an order of worship passed down by generations of fellow Christians. Those who have gone on in the faith before us have compiled together elements from the Scripture that allow us to remember God’s gifts, hear Him call us to confess, hear Him speak his forgiveness, to personally receive the gift of forgiveness at His table, and allow us to respond in praise through timeless hymns.
    • Blended Music Divine Service (Sunday 9:00 AM) – Here we mix in both the traditional hymns and some contemporary music, as we go through our order of worship.  The conversation passed down to us through the ages is combined with more modern musical styles for a couple of the songs during worship.  The message is still the same, God’s word and promise is timeless.
      In addition, we project the entire service on the screens for the congregation to follow along while looking up at the altar.  We do still offer printed bulletins for those that prefer to follow along that way, as well as large print bulletins for people who have trouble seeing.

Family Friendly – We believe that it is important for families to participate in the Divine Service together, so children are most welcome.  We offer children’s messages during each service.  We also have busy bags and activity bulletins available for young children.  During the service if you need a quiet spot, our adjoining prayer chapel is wired so you can still hear the service and there is a window so you can still see what is going on.  We also have a beautiful nursery if so desired.
