Note: At this stage in our church plant, we are currently meeting for Evening Prayer on Sundays at 6:00 PM.

How We Worship

We believe that human beings are made for fellowship with God and find our true fulfillment in relationship with God. Our practices of worship are guided by the Book of Common Prayer. The liturgies in the Prayer Book are rooted in ancient Christian practice and thoroughly saturated by Holy Scripture. In this sense, our worship is both “catholic” and “reformed,” as we embrace the historic twofold pattern of Sunday worship: Word and Sacrament.

Because all human beings are created for worship, we believe that worship is the work of the whole people of God. Every Christian, from the oldest member to the youngest child, from the visitor in the back pew to the priest at the altar, has a vital role.

For this reason, our liturgy is highly participatory. We all join together in prayer and worship following the words in the Book of Common Prayer. You will hear the back-and-forth of the congregation and clergy speaking to one another and to God. You will also see people stand, sit, kneel, bow, or make the sign of the cross. If you are unfamiliar with these practices, you can simply follow along to the extent that you are able and feel comfortable doing so.

As we encounter God through Scripture and Sacrament, we are transformed. As worship becomes the pattern of our lives, we become more truly what we are called to be: the Body of Christ. Therefore, at the end of the liturgy, we are sent out in the power of the Holy Spirit to bear God’s presence into the world and share the love of Jesus with everyone we meet.
