FAQ

What can I expect at a Worship Service?

We are casual, so come dressed in a way that makes you feel comfortable to worship. 

We mostly worship in song with a mixture of contemporary worship songs and an occasional hymn. We worship together in prayer and then Pastor Rich brings us the what the Lord has laid on his heart. 

What is Communion? Who can participate?

Communion is the symbolic re-enactment of the Lord’s Last Supper in which he predicted and explained the significance of his own crucifixion. It is also a time of reflection. Partakers are given bread to signify Christ’s broken body, and juice to signify his shed blood (I Corinthians 11:26). Membership is not required to participate. We only ask that you recognize the Ordinance of Communion with the commemorative reverence with which it was established by Jesus himself.

What about baptism?

Water baptism has been a Christian initiation ritual since the coming of the New Covenant 2000 years ago. It was founded by John the Baptist, affirmed by Christ’s own baptism (Matthew 3) and commanded by Jesus when he gave the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).

It is a practice, rich with significance and meaning. Baptism represents the cleansing that comes when we put our faith in Christ. In addition, it outwardly portrays the transformation process that takes place within us, when we come to faith in Christ. Following Jesus involves dying to the life of sin and rising to new life in Christ. Baptism paints a visual picture of this inner process.

What is our wedding policy?

We believe that marriage is a holy covenant ordained by God between one man and one woman (Genesis 1:27; 2:18, Mt. 19:4), for procreation (be fruitful and multiply) and illustration of the relationship Christ has with the Church (Ephesians 5:23). Therefore, wedding plans should reflect the sacredness of that covenant.

What is our view about women in leadership?

We believe women are equally, spiritually gifted individuals. We have women in many leadership roles in the church. The Free Methodist Church ordains women.
