When and Where
Sunday Service
Sundays–9:30am
Our Sunday services are a weekly celebration of the Lord’s Day. When you join us you can expect to participate in the following:
- Confession—By confessing our faith with the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian creeds, as well as taking time to jointly pray and confess our sins before the Father.
- Singing—By singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with one another.
- Scripture Reading—By reading scriptures aloud from the pulpit and responsively reading the Bible as a part of our praise.
- Expository Preaching—By preaching through the Bible, verse by verse, so that we hear the whole counsel of God’s Word.
“Expository preaching is as old as the Torah. In Deuteronomy, Moses stands before the people of God and exposits the Word of God, explaining what God meant by what He had said to the nation of Israel. In the New Testament, Jesus’s ministry was expositional, always revealing the true meaning of the Old Testament.”

Bible Studies
Sundays–11:15am
Wednesdays–6:30pm
We have small groups on Sunday mornings, after our worship service, and on Wednesday evenings.
Church Family Worship
Sundays–6:00pm
Sunday evenings we gather in church members’ homes for family worship as the church family. This is a time to Read, Pray, and Sing, as we are taught to do in the scriptures.
5 Solas of the Reformation
- Sola Gratia, or “by grace alone,” says sinners are saved as an unearned gift of God’s grace, “not as a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Eph 2:8–9).
- Sola Fide, or “faith alone,” affirms that justification—being made right with God—comes only through faith in Jesus.
- Sola Christus, or “Christ alone,” emphasizes the exclusivity of Jesus’ role in salvation: “No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
- Sola Scriptura, or “God’s Word alone,” maintains that the Bible is the highest source of authority in a Christian’s life, the final court of appeal (though not the only authority: the Bible itself mentions governmental and other authorities).
- Soli Deo Gloria, or “to the glory of God alone,” says that the purpose of creation, salvation, and everything—including our goal as Christians—is the glory of God, “that God may be all in all” (1 Cor 15:28)
