Worship Service
Sunday School Classes
God calls all people to humble themselves and worship Him. Why? Because the Lord our God is worthy of our worship. God has created us, "to glorify him and enjoy him forever!" And through faith in and obedience to Jesus Christ we can glorify and enjoy God forever!
Our worship service often includes:
A call to worship
Songs of praise and hymns
Scripture readings
Confession of sins
Assurance of forgiveness
Prayers for the church, community, country, and the world
Sermon
Song of Response
Benediction
*After each service our prayer team is available up front for those who would like prayer. Any request big or small is welcomed.
**On the first Sunday of the month we celebrate Communion. All baptized Christians, who have put their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord over their lives and Savior from their sins are welcome and encouraged to share in the Communion meal.
The worship service last about an 1hr and 15 mins. After the service we encourage all people to greet each other and spend time with one another.

And children ages 4-5th grade meet for Jr Church during the sermon times.
Students grades 6th and up are encouraged to stay with their families for all of the worship service.
What is Communion?
The Lord’s Supper (Communion) is a sacrament in which, by giving and receiving bread and wine according to Christ’s appointment, His death is proclaimed, and those who receive rightly are by faith…made partakers of His body and blood, with all His benefits, to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace. (Westminster Shorter Catechism)
What are the Benefits of Communion?
1. Life in Christ
John 6:53-54 "Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."
2. Abiding in Christ
John 6:55-57 “For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.”
3. Participation in Christ
1 Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
4. Remembering Christ, His covenant, and the forgiveness He offers us
Matthew 26:26-28 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Luke 22:19-20 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you
1 Corinthians 11:23-25 "For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
5. Proclamation of Christ’s (saving) death
1 Corinthians 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."
Who Is Communion For?
As Evangelical Presbyterians we believe the sacrament of Communion is for all true believers in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, including those from other congregations that are a part of the true Church. All who trust in Jesus Christ as Lord, have repented of sin, and covenant once more to live as followers of Jesus, including all baptized children who have professed their faith are welcome to share in the Communion meal. (EPC Book of Worship)
How Do We Prepare for Communion?
We prepare for communion by examining our spiritual lives, and our relationship with Christ. We confess and repent of known sins, to forgive those who have offended us, reconcile with those we have offended, and pray for the renewing grace of the Holy Spirit. (EPC Book of Worship)
Fellowship has two parking lots. One is an area off Pontiac Trail, the other is in the back and connects to Nine Mile Road. For visitors we have reserved parking in the back parking lot closest to the sanctuary. If you arrive late or things look full don't worry: you can park in the HourKidz lot behind Walgreen's.
If you’re coming with children, they are welcome to join you in the worship service or they are welcome to join other kids in one of the following groups:
Infants- 3 years old can be dropped off at our Nursery located just around the corner from our sanctuary.
4 years- 5th grade are welcome to attend Junior Church. Junior Church kids participate in the beginning of the worship service with their families and are then dismissed during the service and led to the Youth Room.
Kids will participate in prayer, singing, Bible lessons, puppet shows and other fun activities.
All of our children's groups are led by trusted members of our church who have been screened and background checked. We consider it a privilege to serve and care for your kids.
