FAQ

Here’s  what to expect: 

A warm welcome from people who are honored and glad to have you worship with us.

Simple Scriptural worship: prayer, Scripture reading, preaching, and the Lord’s Supper; a capella congregational Psalm-singing, in keeping with our historic Reformed and Puritan heritage, as we seek to worship God in the way He has commanded in the New Testament (John 4:24).

Male-led worship: Men lead the worship service, including the prayers and Scripture readings. Though our church does not mandate it, our women practice head-covering in public worship as they seek to obey the apostolic teaching of 1 Cor. 11:1–16, demonstrating their joyful submission to God‘s created order.

“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.

More Info: Our Reformed Baptist distinctives are most fully expressed in our 1689 Confession of Faith.

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: In love, and always with the goal of restoration (Matt. 18:15–17; 1 Cor. 5).

Yes. Children of all ages are welcome and expected in the worship service.

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).
