One of our core values at Emmanuel is that we desire to Worship Biblically.
+ + +
We gather together on Sundays under the authority of the Bible for expository preaching, observing baptism and the Lord’s supper, singing, confession of sin, and prayer.
Hebrews 10:24–25 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Every Sunday, as we gather to worship biblically:
We read the Bible.
We sing the Bible.
We pray the Bible.
We preach the Bible.
We see the Bible in Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
While rooted in biblical principles, our worship style is considered “contemporary.” We have a praise team with guitars, drums, piano, and singers, and our music is upbeat and lively. More importantly, we ensure that the content of our songs is theologically sound.
The following is the typical order of worship:
SUBMISSION
A call to worship where we submit under the authority of the Word. One of the deacons reads a Scripture Reading and prays.
+ + +
ADORATION
We sing praises to God for all that He is!
+ + +
CONFESSION
As we confess our sins before a holy God, we receive the assurance of forgiveness through the cross of Christ. One of our elders leads us through this time.
+ + +
CONTRIBUTION
Worship involves honoring God by giving generously from our finances. We encourage online giving, but we still pass offering plates.
+ + +
PROCLAMATION
The preaching of God’s Word stands as the center of our worship. Pastor Sean preaches an expository sermon that explains and applies God’s Word.
+ + +
DEDICATION
Worship involves responding to God’s Word with repentance and obedience. At the end of the sermon, there is a prayer time to reflect on how we can respond to Jesus.
+ + +
COMMISSION
Worship is a 24/7 lifestyle in that we are sent out to display God’s glory, declare God’s gospel, and disciple for God’s Great Commission. Pastor Sean gives a benediction, encouraging us to live out our faith in the real world.
