Each time we meet as a congregation, our worship services contain some or all of the following elements:

• Bible study, and lessons from the Bible presented by an evangelist (Rom. 10:14)

• Prayer (Phil. 4:6, James 5:16, Acts 2:42)

• Congregational a cappella singing - this means without mechanical instruments of music, no special choirs to "perform" for the rest. Everyone is encouraged to sing and make melody in their hearts as an act of worship, and to encourage others (Col. 3:16, Eph. 5:19)

• The Lord's Supper (on the first day of every week) - Acts 20:7, Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Acts 2:42

• Giving (on the first day of the week) - a freewill offering made by the members, each person to give as they have purposed in their heart, according to each one's means (II Cor. 9:7, I Cor. 16:2)

We find examples for each of these acts of worship in the Bible, and like the first Christians in the time of the apostles, we do the same things, leaving out anything that we do not find authority to do. Many denominational churches these days advertise both "contemporary" and "traditional" worship services, in which you find very different things. Sometimes the "contemporary" services contain nothing one can identify as worship. In contrast, we believe that the pattern for worship for the Lord's church is as appropriate now as it was 2,000 years ago, and needs no "aids" or "improvements" devised by men.

In all of our acts of worship, we strive for everything to be done "decently and in order" knowing that "God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." (I Cor. 14:33; 40)
