Why we Worship.

   As Christians, we understand that our relationship to God in Christ embraces the whole of our lives. Our Sunday worship is a public and shared expression of the faith and conviction that lies at the center of our existence.  When we were baptized into the Christian faith, we were baptized into a community, a family, and a body of believers.
     By faith we know that in worship God is meeting us with His gifts of forgiveness and eternal life through His written Word, the spoken Word, and in the Word made flesh in Jesus Christ our Savior.  God desires that His "family" worships – receiving His gifts, sharing the faith together to encourage one another and witnessing to what great things God has done for us. Therefore, worship is a vital response to God’s great gift to us in Christ Jesus.

How we Worship.

We celebrate with many styles of worship services. But all follow a form which clearly brings the grace and mercy of God to each person in need.  Whether traditional or contemporary, formal or casual, our worship services will all include:
  - an opportunity for repentance, and assurance of forgiveness
  - relevant Biblical preaching
  - inspiring praise and thanksgiving to God
