Ninety minutes, shaped by two thousand years.
Beginning September 27, each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. we will gather at Franklin Events Center, 4801 Franklin Avenue. Our liturgy follows the ancient pattern of the Church, gathered around Word and Table. It is not performance. It is participation.
A pattern we can return to.
Gathering & Call to Worship
Music begins. We arrive as we are — distracted, hopeful, weary. The Call invites us to turn our attention together.
Songs of Adoration
Two to three songs of praise — ancient hymns and contemporary worship side by side, led from the Nord Stage with two vocalists.
Confession & Assurance
A spoken prayer of confession in unison, followed by the pastoral assurance of pardon. We are reminded who we are — beloved, forgiven, sent.
The Reading of Scripture
Old Testament, Psalm, Gospel. Read aloud. The Word of the Lord — thanks be to God.
Sermon
A teaching from the Scripture just read — usually 22 to 28 minutes. Expository, Wesleyan, and rooted in the everyday.
The Lord's Table
Regularly. Bread and cup, broken and poured, given freely. All who follow Jesus are welcome at the table.
Sending & Benediction
A final song, a blessing, and a sending — back into the week, into the parking lot, into the garden being tended.
The water still says what the water has always said.
A note on the kids.
Children worship with us in the room. Wiggles, snacks, and questions are welcome. They are not interrupting — they are the church.
Our Philosophy of Family Ministry →Come as you are. We'll watch for you.
You don't need to know the liturgy, dress a certain way, or have your theology sorted out. Show up a few minutes early, find a seat near the back if that feels safer, and let the service carry you. Someone will be glad to say hello.
If you let us know you're coming, we'll watch for you and have someone ready to greet you by name.
