So how does God want to be worshiped?

Besides “in spirit and in truth” God has specific ways He wants to be worshiped. These are the things God asks of us...

Singing

The entire assembly joins in singing gospel songs. There is no choir or special groups, but simple congregational singing. Since there is no evidence in the New Testament that the early church used mechanical instrumentals to accompany their singing, we do not use them in our worship (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16).

Prayer

The congregation is led in prayer by one of the men in the assembly. We pray, not only to praise and thank God, but also to ask our needs and the needs of others (I Timothy 2:1-4).

Preaching

The lessons and sermons are designed to teach God’s word so as to encourage compliance by those who listen. It has become increasingly popular for preachers to appear sensational by discussing subjects not revealed in the Bible, and even laying claims to miraculous powers. We make no claim for sensationalism - just plain Bible teaching and study.

The Lord’s Supper

Like the church during the time the New Testament was written, we partake of the Lord’s supper each first day of the week (Acts 20:7). The supper consists of unleavened bread and fruit of the vine as memorials of the body and blood of Jesus ( I Corinthians 11:20-36).

Giving as we prosper

We do not take up a collection every time we meet, but only on the first day of the week (I Corinthians 16:1-2). Should you attend our Sunday service when the collection is taken, you are not expected to give. This is the responsibility of the members, not our guests.
