What to Expect
Our worship services are conservative by modern American standards; some may describe them as “traditional.” We elevate praising God over entertaining ourselves, and our worship reflects that.
Bible Version
We use the King James Version in worship and Bible studies, but other versions may be used by members and visitors.

Close Communion
We practice close communion (not closed communion), meaning that all participants in the Lord’s Supper must be either confessing members of our congregation, or visitors who have been granted permission by the Consistory. If you’ll be visiting for a Lord’s Supper service, please contact us ahead of time, or stop by the Consistory Room a few minutes prior to the service.
