We would love to have you come and visit us on a Sunday morning. We know that it can be a little unnerving to come and be part of something new. Thus, whether you come from a church background or not– here’s an explanation of what we’re about at Providence.
The Goal
We are dedicated to keeping Christ at the heart of our worship. We look to his atoning death on the cross and resurrection from the dead as the central event in Scripture– indeed, it is through trust in Christ’s sacrifice that we find hope.
The Format
At Providence, we do what Christians have done for centuries–read and proclaim the Scriptures, pray, sing scriptural songs and hymns, and partake of the Lord’s Table. We are dedicated to expository preaching, and to offering clear, practical and straight-forward personal application of the scriptures.
Children – We Gather as Family
When we gather, it is a family environment; there are a lot of children. You and your children should feel welcome.
On Sundays, you won’t find a separate Jr. High, Sr. High, women’s, men’s, or otherwise affinity-organized service—and that’s on purpose! When we gather for worship, we do so as family. Every Sunday we fight the urge to silo everyone off by age, gender, and favorite color, instead gathering together in one room—geriatric grandpas and tiny toddlers together.
So what about kids? They’re noisy, I’ve heard. Yes, and the Lord Jesus seems to like it when they are allowed to come to him—so we’re ok with a little noise in the service. Bring your kids right into the corporate gathering with you. They are most welcome, and will be in good company.
