Knowing Christ. Making Christ Known
through worship
Celebration ~ Our Celebration Service begins at 9:45 a.m. in our sanctuary. Kim Russell and the Music Team do an incredible job in sharing their gifts with us week after week. One of the historic hallmarks of traditional Presbyterian worship is congregational participation, and in this service, everyone participates! We primarily will sing contemporary Christian songs.

THE BODY OF CHRIST GATHERED TO WORSHIP GOD

Pastor: Day and night around the throne they never stop singing;
People: “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come”.

The Affirmation of Our Faith (Unison)
In the beauty of this day, I affirm my faith and trust in Almighty God whose love has overcome evil through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. What people thought they had done was, by God's power, undone and brought within his plan of salvation. Such grace can never age or fail to touch my needs of the moment. And as my moments become years so may my witness increase, that living the victory of faith in Christ I may understand as I am understood and thereby love as I am loved by him whom no cross could hold and no crown deny. Amen!
