Here’s what to expect on Sunday morning
We gather every Sunday to worship God with all our hearts through music, fellowship, giving, and the preaching of God’s Word. A key element of our worship services is the expository preaching of the Word of God, verse-by-verse, as we go through books of the Bible. In addition to the preached Word are the vital elements of the sacraments (baptism and the Lord's Supper), worship in song, prayer, reading of Scripture, and fellowship with one another. Our worship services are marked by a loving warmth for all, joy, and a love for sound doctrine. Our services typically last ninety minutes.

While children of all ages are always welcome to worship with us for the entirety of our service, we also believe in the task of disciple-making at the hands of the local church. At Garwood Church, children worship with us during the musical portion of our service and then transition into their classrooms, during a short break before the sermon. We pray for them and bless them as they go and learn about Jesus in community. Our youth stays in the service to listen to God’s Word with their parents but meets two Fridays a month in their own gathering on Friday nights.
