SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP
AT 9:30 A.M.
Our Worship at Christ Church
At Christ Church, our mission is simple yet profound: to glorify and enjoy God as we gather, grow, and go.
God-Focused Worship
Our worship is centered on the living God, not on ourselves. Each Lord’s Day, we proclaim His glory through singing, praying, confessing, reading Scripture, preaching, giving, and partaking of the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We desire our services to reflect the joy, reverence, and awe due to our Triune God.
Rooted in Scripture and the Reformation
The order of our worship is not driven by trends or preferences but is grounded in the pattern of apostolic Christianity revealed in the Bible and faithfully recovered in the Protestant Reformation. Because we seek to worship God as He commands in His Word, our services do not fit neatly into the American categories of “traditional” or “contemporary.” Instead, they are marked by simplicity and timelessness. While language and musical instruments may vary across cultures, the shape of our worship could be recognized by the saints of ancient Ephesus, seventeenth-century Scotland, or the global church today, from Uganda to Mexico, from Jerusalem to China.
A Covenant Dialogue
When we gather for corporate worship, our aim is not to entertain, perform, or put on a show. Worship is not a concert, nor is it a passive experience. Biblical worship is a covenantal dialogue between God and His people. God speaks through His Word, and His people respond in faith. That is why, at Christ Church, the congregation participates fully in the service; we all sing together, confess together, and pray together.
Word, Prayer, and Sacrament
Our worship is God-focused, Spirit-filled, Christ-exalting, and guided by Scripture. This is seen in how we:
-
Read the Word (Revelation 1:3)
-
Pray the Word (Psalm 143)
-
Preach the Word (1 Timothy 4:13; 2 Timothy 4:1-5)
-
Sing the Word (Colossians 3:16-17)
-
See the Word in the sacraments (1 Corinthians 11:23-34)
We cherish the ordinary means of grace, Word, prayer, and sacrament, through which God nourishes His people and builds His Church.
Joyful Reverence
Finally, our services are marked by the same spirit that we pray characterizes our lives: joyful reverence before the majesty of our Triune God.

SUNDAY EVENING SERMON,
PRAYER MEETING,
AND DINNER AT 5:00 P.M.
At Christ Church, we believe the Lord’s Day is more than just Sunday morning. God has graciously given us this whole day, and we are thankful to begin and end it together in worship, prayer, and fellowship.
Our evening services are not repeats of the morning. A different sermon series is preached in the evenings, offering another opportunity to grow in God’s Word. After worship, we continue with corporate prayer, and then gather in the fellowship hall for dinner—provided at no cost.
A few notes on Sunday evenings:
-
Fourth Sundays – We celebrate the Lord’s Supper together.
-
Second Sundays – No evening gathering at this time.
-
Fifth Sundays – A special time of Scripture and Song, followed by prayer and a shared meal.
-
Nursery care is not available during evening services, but children are warmly welcome to join us in worship.
We invite you to join us this Sunday as we set apart the Lord’s Day for His glory and our benefit, bookended with morning and evening worship, prayer, and fellowship!
We are meeting at the New Covenant Church building located at 5520 Ball Camp Pike behind the Walmart Neighborhood Market.
