Worship

At the heart of our week together as a church family are our worship services on the Lord’s Day (Sunday).

Our Lord’s Day morning service begins at 10:45 am. This time of worship includes prayers, congregational singing of praise (psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs), Scripture reading, and Biblical preaching.
Our Sunday evening worship meets at 6:00 pm in the sanctuary. We sing praises (psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs), have intercessory prayer, and hear Biblical teaching.

What is JPBC’s worship style?

At JPBC we do not try to make our worship “contemporary” or “traditional.” Our goal is an authentic, God-centered time of worship through Biblical preaching-teaching, spiritual singing, and prayer.

Colossians 3:16: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

1 Timothy 4:13: Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

What is the preaching like?

In general our messages come from systematic exposition through a book from the Bible. Lord willing, in 2009 we will complete a study of the Gospel of Mark and begin a study through the book of Romans. Sunday evenings are usually devoted to Biblical teaching; over the last several years we looked at various topics and several books of the Old Testament.

How are children involved in worship?

JPBC is a family friendly church. We encourage families to sit together in our worship services. Children learn how to worship through their regular participation and involvement in our services. A nursery is optionally available for younger children (under age 3) during the Sunday 10:45 am and 6:00 pm services.
