Order of Worship

The Service for the Lord’s Day.

In worship, we follow an order called The Service for the Lord’s Day.

This basic format is the predominant way that Christians around the world have worshiped since the days following Jesus’ resurrection. In fact, the basic order is rooted in the synagogue worship of Jesus’ day.

It’s a four-fold pattern that unfolds like a story: (1) the people of God gather, (2) we listen for God to speak, (3) we respond to God’s word, and (4) we depart to serve in God’s world.

At each point, we repeat certain activities, knowing that repetition will shape the ways that believe, obey and serve God. While our worship leaders guide us through this service, they keep our words fresh and our hearts engaged.
