Worshiping together with those who understand and love the gospel should be the highlight of every believer's week. We enjoy making much of God and rejoicing in His infinite beauty and worth. We hope no one leaves our Sunday services unchanged as we gain a better understanding of the supremacy of God through the preaching of His Word.

Worship Service activities at 10:30 a.m. Sundays

Preaching
  • This is the central focus of the worship service; to receive instruction through the written Word of God.
  • The pulpit ministry of PBC is expositional preaching, which is explaining the text consecutively through a book or unit of the Word, applying it to our lives, and pointing us to Christ.
  • We believe this should be the main diet of believers (although not exclusive). At times it is good to teach topically or doctrinally while still practicing sound exegesis and exposition of the texts.
Other Ordinances
  • Other aspects of our worship services are Scripture reading, prayer, and musical worship
  • We also observe the Lord's Supper and water baptism as ordinances given to the church (Matt. 28:18-20; 1 Cor. 11:23-32)
Music
  • Our musical worship contains God-honoring and Christ-exalting lyrics for us to respond to God for who He is and what He has done through His Son, Jesus Christ.
  • It is congregational worship, which means it is not a performance or a concert. The voices of the congregation are meant to be heard as we sing in unity and are encouraged by hearing those alongside us as we lift our voices to God (Eph. 5:18-21; Col. 3:16)
  • Our music and instruments are meant to accompany and carry the singing, not over-power it. They function as a servant for the congregation providing background for preparation and meditation, both as a prelude and postlude to service. 
Children
  • During service we provide nursery care for infants and toddlers as needed
  • But we prefer families to worship together as we do not have children's church or mini children's sermon.
  • We believe children should be in service worshiping God under the ministry of the Word with their parents. The Bible is clear on how families worshiped together and heard the Word of God in times past (Josh. 8:33-35; Neh. 8:1-4; Eph. 6:1; Col. 3:20)
  • We understand that children need to learn how to worship God and hear His Word. Squirms and cries are welcomed but there is also a Children Training Chapel room available for those training their children to sit still and quiet in worship and for nursing mothers. 
Fellowship and Food
  • After service people stick around for snacks and fellowship - greeting one another and discussing life, ministry, theology and everything in between.
  • On the first Sunday of each month we have a Manna Rest meal, which is a pot-luck style meal - everyone is invited!
