We desire our meetings to be open to the contribution of all Christians in attendance. We make it a practice to truly teach and admonish one another through songs, hymns, and spiritual songs. All are allowed – not required – to share from the Scriptures or their walk with the Lord from the week. Often these times turn into spontaneous Bible studies or prayer sessions. At the end of this time of intermingled prayer, music, and sharing, someone (usually the pastor) will bring a sustained expositional teaching for about one hour.

It seems to us that the NT indicates that the Lord’s Supper was always a part of, or entirely made up of, a larger meal. We believe it is important that Christians share their lives together around a common table, fellowshipping and learning about Christ and one another.

We earnestly guard this time as a church as it proves again and again to be the time when through earnest conversation with other Christians we are helped in learning how to think about the world around us and the God who loves us. We see this as an integral part of learning to bring “every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”
