FAQ

Reformed worship as it has looked for most of its history: simple, reverent, governed by Scripture alone. Oriented to God, centered on Christ — worship “in Spirit and truth” (John 4:24).  

You'll receive a hearty welcome from ordinary sinners saved by grace, who came for the same reason you did: to hear God’s Word preached without apology. No prior familiarity with Reformed worship is required. Come, and ask any questions afterward.

Preaching. Christ-centered expository preaching — the authoritative proclamation of God’s Word brought home to the heart, not a lecture. The preaching is Reformed and experiential: plain and straightforward, the whole Christ for the whole man — mind, will, and affections. The preached Word convicts by the law and comforts in Christ.

Prayer. Men lead the congregation in prayers of adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and intercession.

Singing. The inspired Psalms, sung a cappella. God gave His church her inspired hymnbook. We all sing it back to Him, with no band to drown out our voices. 

The ordinances. The Lord’s Supper each Lord’s Day, and baptism administered to those newly professing faith in Christ. This is Christ displayed before His people in the signs He appointed.

Male-led worship. Men lead every part of the service. Many of our women cover their heads in public worship, seeking to obey the apostolic teaching (1 Cor. 11:1–16) as joyful submission to God’s created order.

Robust fellowship. We do not hurry away after the services. The Lord’s Day is given for worship and rest, and we enjoy it together — sharing a meal, bearing one another’s burdens, and building each other up in Christ.

“Reformed” means we hold to Reformed theology, including the doctrines of grace, the sovereignty of God in salvation, and a high view of Scripture as the sole infallible rule of faith and practice.

“Baptist” means we believe Christ instituted the ordinance of baptism by immersion, for believers only.

Because the Psalter is God’s own hymnbook. He inspired one hundred fifty songs and gave them to His church to sing back to Him (Col. 3:16; Eph 5:19). 

The inspired Psalms were sung by Christ Himself, by the church throughout its history, and by our Reformed and Puritan fathers. 

We sing with voices only, distinct from the instruments of Old Testament temple worship. Every man, woman, and child sings freely, with no production band to drown them out.

This is not a rule we invented. It is the worship God commands.

1. A profession of faith in Christ, evidenced by fruits of repentance and faith, and expressed in Scriptural baptism.

2. Full agreement with the foundational truths of the Christian faith (as summarized in the Nicene Creed).

3. Commitment to covenant membership, with a willing agreement to walk with us in unity under the authority of Christ and His Word as summarized in our doctrinal standards.

Yes. We follow the pattern Christ commanded in Matt. 18:15–17 and Paul applied in 1 Cor. 5, with unity and restoration as the goal in every step.

Yes. He meets with men one-on-one, unhurried: doctrine, instruction, how to lead a home. Most of our men had never had this from a pastor. Single men learn to pursue and win a wife. Married men learn to love and lead the one they have. The pastor teaches and exhorts; Christ does the changing.

With you. Children belong in the assembly, under the preached Word, not in a separate program.

Every age worships together, from infants to grandparents. 

This is how God has always gathered His people. When the assembly met to hear His Word, the little ones were present, down to nursing infants (Deut 31:12; Joel 2:16). And Christ confirmed it: when small children were brought to Him, He rebuked those who would send them away — “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 19:14).

A restless child is not a distraction here. He is a hearer of the Word. As our pastor says, “If I can't preach over a fussy baby, I need to find a different calling.”

A nursing and diaper-changing room is available nearby with the service audio, so mothers and infants never miss the preaching.

Wives: Scripture calls you to submit to your husband and follow his spiritual leadership, including where your family worships. Trust his leadership and God’s order of headship in the home  (Eph. 5:22–24; Col. 3:18; 1 Pet. 3:5).

Husbands: Scripture charges you to lead as head of your home, not to abdicate and call it kindness. Love your wife, teach her, and lead your household to worship (Eph. 5:25–27; Josh. 24:15).
