About our style
What is it like going to church here?
Our music
We enjoy contemporary music and instruments. We also appreciate the traditional music of the church. Some of us worship the Lord in a more demonstrative way, some in a more quiet way; but worship is important for us!
The Body of Christ
We take the unity of the Body of Christ (all Christians) seriously: we value our church family and our denomination very highly and are supportive of other Christian churches and ministries.
Our style
Jeans, dresses and ties, are all represented. In all matters, we want to accept each other just the way we are, at the same time helping each other toward a life that honors the Lord.
The work of the Holy Spirit
In our emphasis on the fullness of the Holy Spirit, we try to avoid both extremes: on the one hand, dictating what the Holy Spirit may not do in our midst; and on the other, declaring what he must do in every life. We want to practice this two-pronged advice: "Do not put out the fire....Test everything (1 Thess. 5:19,22)." Scripture is the final test of the validity of Christian practice.
Preaching/teaching
Sermons spring from a careful study of Scripture, and bring word to bear on the daily lives we live. The goal is always to be Biblical, practical and interesting.
Money
We believe in good stewardship, but don't overemphasize money and buildings. Our understanding of giving finds direction from the Old Testament teaching about tithing, illuminated by the New Testament teachings about giving generously, cheerfully, and in response to blessing.
