Sunday Morning
Why Should Families Worship Together?
There are many clear biblical reasons supporting families worshiping together at church. Allow me, however, to focus on some intensely practical reasons.
- Worship is full of God Sightings. Every time you celebrate communion, observe a baptism, lift your hands as you sing, or hear the Word of God, parents have a chance to teach their children about God
- Worship together creates a common experience for Faith Talks. If Pastor Alex preaches about Noah that day and the whole family hears it, parents have common ground for faith talks with their children and students.
- Worship together gives families the opportunity to be together at church for family moments like Mother’s day, Father’s day, Christmas, and Easter.
- Kids need to experience multi-generational worship. This blows away the idea that “church is for kids” and allows children the opportunity to see senior adults, parents, youth , and children worshiping together. That’s a lot like Heaven!
How Can We Make it Happen?
It’s true. Some families may never choose to worship together. Our goal is to make it possible. It will be up to you as to whether you sit together, worship in the same room at the same time, or go to different worship services. It will be up to you to capture the God sightings and use Faith Talks that pour out of corporate worship. On the church side of things, we are offering you, as parents, another way to lead your children spiritually. I believe they will love it in the long run.

Students will be able to choose between Bible Study or the The Gathering which will allow them to attend Worship with their family the opposite hour.
Bible Study will function as it has in the past with a Master Teacher and Core Groups. Students will meet by grade in designated rooms.
The Gathering will be a large group format that will meet in the Garage. This will be a creative Bible study option that will incorporate a variety of teaching styles.
