I'm new here.

Welcome!  We are glad you’re here and we would love to hear from you.  

Let Us Know!

Today's Service

CALL TO WORSHIP • Galatians 6:9-10
We begin each service with a passage of Scripture that calls us to worship. It reminds us that we gather because God has invited us to know Him and be known by Him.

SONG • Praise
Sing along with us.

SONG • Generations
Sing along with us.

WELCOME • Dr. Daniel Patterson, Executive Pastor

SONG • Abide
Sing along with us.

SCRIPTURE READING • Ephesians 4:15-16

SONG • Death Was Arrested
Sing along with us.

PASTORAL PRAYER • Dr. Phillip Bethancourt, Lead Pastor
This is a prayer that spends time both giving thanks to God and a time when we take our needs as a church to God—whether for physical or spiritual needs in our church, for crises around the world, or for missionaries or other gospel churches.

SERMON • Dr. Phillip Bethancourt, Lead Pastor
Each week, we open the Bible and study verse by verse what God has said in his Word and what that means for our lives. Today’s message is found in Acts 4:32-37.

RESPONSE • This I Believe
Feel free to join us in song, place your offering in the giving boxes, gather communion elements, or come talk to us in front of the platform. We would love to pray with you or talk about next steps with you.

LORD’S SUPPER • Dr. Phillip Bethancourt, Lead Pastor
The Lord’s Supper is a meal that tells the story of the gospel, open to those who are professing believers in Christ who have professed that faith in believer’s baptism and church membership. The bread and cup signify the body and blood of Jesus, and, as we take this meal, we renew our commitment to Christ and one another.

CENTRAL TOGETHER UPDATES
We end our gathering with a brief time that normally consists of a few announcements or prayer over a group.

BENEDICTION
The benediction is our charge as we are sent from our weekly gathering into the world to be a faithful and loving presence of Jesus.

Church Covenant

Having been brought by divine grace to repent of our sins and trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and having been baptized as Christians in the name of the Triune God, we do now, in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, joyfully covenant with one another and with God to be members of this local church as one body in Christ. Therefore:

We commit to gather in God’s presence regularly—corporately by prioritizing the church’s weekly worship above other worldly pursuits, personally by abiding in Christ through lives of devotion and daily habits of grace. In this we submit our lives, thoughts, and habits of mind and heart to be shaped by the transforming power of the gospel.

We commit to grow our knowledge and love for God and one another—engaging as an authentic family in church community environments and pursuing God as deep disciples in church learning environments. In this, we share each other’s joys, bear each other’s burdens, hold fast to the hope we profess, and savor the mystery and beauty of the gospel.

We commit to give regularly to the sacred mission of this church—financially by investing generously in the church’s operating fund and practically by volunteering our time in humble service. In this we meet the expenses of the church, extend the reach of its ministry, provide relief for the poor, and advance through all nations the spread of the gospel.

We commit to go with the gospel to our neighbors and the nations—living as a faithful presence in our homes, community, and workplaces, and establishing a bold and joyful witness to all generations taking the gospel to unreached peoples. In this we honor the Great Commandment and Great Commission of our Lord as we bear witness to the gospel.

In all, we give wholehearted assent to the Chrsitian faith and this church’s core convictions, adhere willingly to its confession of faith, and submit joyfully to the accountability, care, discipline, and oversight of the church body and its leadership. As such, we commit to pray for one another, outdo one another in showing honor, striving to live in felt union with Christ, ever pursuing unity and peace in the body of Christ. Should the Lord ever lead us away from this local body, we commit to resign from membership and unite with haste to a like-minded church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant.

We make each of these commitments by the love of God the Father, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, and in service to his kingdom, now and forevermore.
