"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28
What to Expect
We begin our church services by kneeling down during the opening prayer. At that moment, we ask for the covering of the blood of Jesus Christ, recognizing that Jesus’ sacrifice is the only way we can approach our Father in prayer.
The church service is divided into three 15-20 minute segments. We start with congregational worship, then the sermon, followed by a time of personal assistance in prayer for those who need it.
Throughout the time of praise, the praise leader may ask for a handful of spontaneous prayers of thanksgiving from the church, and any member of the congregation is welcome to give thanks to the Lord by standing and praying aloud. After the message, we have time dedicated to praying for anyone who comes to the service with a particular need or concern.
Don’t be shy about asking for prayer — we all need a blessing from the Lord!
In the Sunday Bible School, the children (ages 3-11) have kid-focused time of praise and receive age-appropriate Bible teaching in their classes.
