Singing, Worship, and Preaching are important . . . . but without the presence of God they are meaningless. For this reason we are committed to creating an atmosphere where the Lord's presence is welcome and realized each time we meet. Though we schedule and plan each service, we quickly yield to any sovereign move of the Holy Spirit allowing Him to minister as needed.
Singing and Worship
Sunday Service opens with worship. This includes singing and times of praise (Psalms 30:4; 96:1-9). Following or sometimes during the song service, the congregation will join in prayer. It is not unusual for individuals to pray out loud during these times (Ephesians 5:19-20).
Congregational Prayer
At some point there will be corporate prayer where the church prays for the needs of the congregation. The sick may be anointed with oil and prayed for at this time (James 5:14-16).
The Message
Pastor's sermon is always taken from the Scriptures. Preaching in the Assemblies of God can best be described as dynamic, as the Holy Spirit is given freedom to move and set the tone of the service (Matthew 10:7; Mark 16:15; Acts 10:42).
Time of Commitment
After the sermon, a time of dedication with prayer at the altar allows people to accept Christ as Savior or pray for needs and concern in their lives (Acts 26:18, Ephesians 4:23; Psalms 25:16-18; 34:17-19).
