SUNDAY MORNING
Throughout His brief time on earth, Jesus always
spoke to people in ways they understood. He spoke
their language in relevant terms. He used analogies
and related to them without ever compromising the
message. We want to do the same thing – share the
timeless message of the Bible in a way that is
powerfully relevant.
Our Sunday morning services feature
- Casual dress
- Upbeat, contemporary praise and worship music
- Practical and relevant yet "deep" Biblical messages
Our services often are more than worship songs and a
message. Sometimes we break into smaller groups for
special times of discussion or Bible study. Sometimes
we have extended periods of prayer. We also have
periodic sharing times (see below). Services begin at 10:30 AM.

Classes for Children
Children are a very precious part of our church
family. We feel that it is an honor and privilege
to help our little ones grow in the knowledge of
their loving Savior and to assist them in developing
a lifelong walk with Him.
Our children's classes take place during the 10:30
service. Children stay in the service during fellowship
singing and then may attend classes separated by age.
In addition, a nursery is available during the
entire service for the youngest children.

Sharing Times
American Christianity tends to be a "spectator sport."
Yet the Bible plainly teaches that all believers are
to minister together using the gifts God has given them.
About once a month our Sunday morning service includes an
extended sharing time in which all are welcome to share
what God is teaching them in their own lives. During
sharing times we also partake of the bread and cup in
remembrance of our Savior.

Worship
Our worship band plays some of the newest songs
by artists and groups including Chris Tomlin,
Matt Redman, and Third Day, as well as songs
by members of our sister churches that you will
not hear anywhere else in the Upstate. We also mix
in some older praise songs, scripture songs (the
lyrics are straight from the Bible), and the
occasional updated hymn. First and foremost, we
select songs based on the power of their lyrics,
so that we are able to really worship and connect
with God.
