What to Expect

EXPECT TO BE WELCOMED

We want you here.  God has changed our lives and we want you to experience that too.  We are normal people, who don't have it all together, but we know the God who does.  And we will warmly welcome you just as you are!

EXPECT MUSIC SUITABLE FOR WORSHIP

God has blessed us with several talented musicians, vocally and instrumentally.  Our services incorporate both hymns and modern worship songs.  Our goal is that all of our music stirs our affections for Christ by rehearsing the Gospel through their lyrics and pushing us to express our thanksgiving and praise to God.  

EXPECT A SERMON ROOTED FIRMLY IN THE BIBLE

We take seriously the Word of God around here and don't just sprinkle it in here and there.  You don't need to hear what we think about stuff, you need to hear what God thinks and that can only be found in what He has revealed in the Scriptures.  So the sermons are expository, taking their lead from the text of God's Word.  Typically the sermons series will center on a book of the Bible that we work through systematically, verse by verse, for several weeks.  This forces us into the full counsel of God, even the parts most people tend to neglect.  We strive to be biblically-balanced and theologically informed.  

EXPECT TO HEAR THE GOSPEL

What Christ has done for us in His death and Resurrection is the climax of all of Scripture and every page of the Bible points to Him and His work in some way, so we are constantly connecting whatever passage of Scripture we are studying to the work of Christ that saves sinners like us.  Therefore, expect to hear the Gospel and some of the implications of the Gospel frequently.
