Our Sunday Gatherings
8:30am & 11:00am
In our worship gatherings we aspire to be seriously joyful and joyfully serious. Our aim is to rejoice in the gospel of Jesus Christ and praise God for all that he is and for all that he has done. Both Sunday morning services are about an hour and fifteen minutes in length and are identical in format. Here's a brief overview of what to expect during our services.
The Word Read & Preached
At Faith, we are committed to the reading and faithful preaching of the word. During our gathered worship you'll hear the word read many times. And when the word is preached, one of the pastors or other qualified men will read a portion of God’s word and then expound upon it, seeking to clarify the meaning of the text and apply it to our lives today.
The Word Prayed
Part of our offense against the spiritual forces that threaten our faith is prayer. We believe that God himself, in his word, has given us the substance of our prayers. During our gathered worship we devote time to prayer, during which we adore and praise God, give him thanks, confess our sins, intercede on behalf others, and petition him to meet our needs.
The Word Sung
We love to sing at Faith and enjoy a mix of theologically rich songs both old and new, accompanied by a variety of instruments in our gathered worship. As we worship together, some people raise their hands and clap while others prefer a more reflective response. We welcome and value both of these as Biblical expressions in corporate worship.
The Word Seen
The ordinances of baptism and The Lord’s Supper (or Communion) are instituted by Christ and given to the church to be carried out corporately, symbolically reenacting the gospel message of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. We partake in the Lord's Supper the first Sunday of each month and administer the ordinance of baptism as the need arises.

A Warm Welcome and Friendly Fellowship
As you enter on Sunday morning, you'll be greeted by a member of our hospitality team. If you have any questions or need directions please look for a team member (wearing a lanyard). If you're a guest, please stop by our Welcome Center in the main lobby. Someone will be there to warmly greet you, answer questions you may have, and assist you. We also have a free book (or two) that we'd love to give you, as well as a free Bible if you need one.
Complimentary coffee and tea are available. Simply follow the signs or ask a member of our hospitality team if you need assistance.
Dress is personal preference and generally casual. You'll see everything from shorts and flip-flops to an occasional coat and tie. Polo shirts and jeans are most common. However you feel comfortable, we welcome you to join us!
