Experience

Fellowship begins at 10:00 a.m. Each week, you will find a variety of treats, including coffee and juice, cookies, cakes, fruit, and a host of other goodies.

The time for worship begins at 10:30 a.m.

Worship generally lasts about one and a half hours, but our time with God is unlimited.

Our worship shares and honors the traditions of all generations of the past, present, and future, sharing in progressive growth while being conformed to the image of Christ and honoring the truth of God’s Holy Word through the Holy Spirit. Here, you will find the use of scripture from both the Old and New Testament, music for all ages, including an organ, piano, guitars, percussions, and flute. Depending on the season of the year, there is something for everyone, including an occasional choir. Sermons range in a gospel-centered style, ranging from topics taken from the Revised Common Lectionary for Sundays and Holidays to topics from a Sermon Series chosen by the pastor.

“Come as you are” provides a general description of casual dress attire. You will find the pastor generally wearing blue jeans combined with a dress shirt. Some of the ladies come in dresses, a few of the men wear suits and ties, and others in sneakers. We want people to be comfortable but also in good taste, meaning yes, you must wear a shirt, pants, and shoes. Depending on the season of the year, you might find more people dressed one way or another. However, God is more interested in the condition of people’s hearts.

During worship, we pause for a time of the passing of the peace. At this moment, teachers assist children in leaving the sanctuary, allowing parents to settle in and listen to the sermon. Aided by adult leaders and other assistants, children find time to participate in an age-appropriate time of learning, sometimes with crafts and snacks.

Open Parking is available along Prince Street. The church has two additional parking areas: one up the alley on the north side of Prince Street and a small parking area down the alley on the south side of Prince Street. Signs are at the entrances to each alley.

Yes! Women’s Small Group Study meets once a month at 7:00 p.m. Currently, the group meets in the church Community Room. This group will soon begin meeting in Galbreath in anticipation of some needed updates. The group focuses on developing a deeper relationship with our God guided by Biblical studies and scripture, as well as prayer and fellowship with each other. Over the past two years, studies surrounded the lives and challenges faced by Ruth, Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Esther. Currently, the group has concentrated on the prayers of Jesus, using the Deeper Connections curriculum by the same name. New members are encouraged and welcome to join.

The church membership falls under what our denomination designates as “Covenant Partnership.” Interested individuals should speak to the pastor about attending a “Covenant Partner Inquiry Class.”
