The Gospel
In the beginning...
God created everything. Not only did God create everything, but because he is good, he also gave us the law. The demand of the law was perfection. Failure to obey the law perfectly came with the penalty of death, but the reward of obedience was life. Instead of obedience we have each chosen to disobey God's law.
The Bad News.
We chose to sin. Therefore, sinners, who are condemned to death, are in need of forgiveness of sin and salvation from death (the wrath of God).
The Good News (Gospel)
Sinners can be forgiven and can be saved from death, their sins, and God’s wrath through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ Jesus alone.
Now What?
Those who have been saved are commanded to obey the gospel by: Repenting (turn from sins to Jesus) and Confess (make publicly known) your sins. Believe that Jesus Christ is God. Be Baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Commit yourself to a local body of believers (a church). And make Disciples of all Nations.

Lord's Day
The Lord’s Day is a day for serious joy. It is a day for the church to seriously and joyfully reflect upon the grace of God revealed in Christ and his Spirit. In an effort to foster this spirit of glad sobriety, we have organized our Lord’s Day as outlined below.
Prayer Meeting
These times of morning prayer allow the church to come together to pray for the needs of the church. Although everyone may not be able to attend these corporate times of prayer, every church member is highly encouraged to begin the Lord’s Day with time for prayer.
5:30 PM (Current)
9:00 AM - 9: 30 AM (Beginning November 1)
Sunday School
Sunday School is meant to encourage discipleship. Whether learning the basic storyline of the Bible, training for ministry, or joining in the Sing class*, this time is an excellent addition to everyone's growth in the knowledge of the Lord.
9:45 AM - 10:45 AM (Current)
10:00 AM - 10:45 AM (Beginning November 1)
*On months with a 5th Sunday we come together for Sing Class were we learn how to sing.
Morning Worship
The church has been called out of darkness and into the light. Therefore, we have been called to worship the living God through the preaching of the word and the ordinances of baptism and the
Lord’s supper. The morning sermons have a particular aim to edify the worshipper by explaining and applying the text.
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Evening Worship
After lunch and rest, the church returns for an hour of worship. In this hour, a particular emphasis is made on the preaching the fundamentals of the gospel. It is during this sermon that an unbeliever will hear the gospel most explicitly.
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (Current )
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM (Beginning November 8)
*Except 1st Sunday of each month (see below)
Reflection
The believer is encouraged to end the Lord’s Day reflecting on the word. Fathers are encouraged to help direct the thoughts of their children to reflect back upon what they heard and learned. Husbands are encouraged to discuss the sermons with their wives. Prayer and reflecting on the notes taken are an excellent way to end the Lord’s day.
First Sundays
The first Sunday each month we take time to share a meal as a church family. Guest are welcomed to join us. The meal is meant to be a restful time as we minister to one another. In addition, our members' meetings are ordinarily held on the first Sunday of the month. For these reasons, we cancel the PM service. It is our hope and prayer that the duration of the evening is filled with times of private and family devotion and reflection upon the Lord and his gospel.
