Worship

Christian worship joyfully ascribes all praise and honor, glory and power to the triune God.  In worship, we acknowledge God present in the world and in our lives.  As we worshipfully respond to God’s claim and redemptive work in Jesus Christ, we are transformed and renewed.

Worship in Boyd Chapel is each Sunday at 7:30 a.m.  Worship in the chapel includes congregational singing of hymns, scripture readings, sermon, and prayer, and the weekly celebration of the sacrament of Holy Communion.

Worship in the sanctuary is each Sunday at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m.  Worship in the sanctuary includes congregational singing of hymns, scripture readings, sermon, prayers, children’s moment, and the monthly celebration of the sacrament of Holy Communion.  Worship in the sanctuary also includes music presented by one of the congregation’s choirs or the congregation’s praise ensemble.

New Stone Gathering in Fellowship Hall is each Sunday at 8:30 a.m.  New Stone Gathering is worship in a different vein -- vintage and emergent, casual and conversational.  New Stone debuts March 1, 2009.  For additional information, click HERE.
