What To Wear
Many people aren’t sure what to wear when they visit. We want you to be comfortable when you visit, so wear what you’re comfortable wearing. When you’re at one of our services, you’ll see a range of styles from jeans to suits. Casual or “Sunday best” . . . it doesn’t matter.
What Is The worship Like?
We pray together out loud…
because in the Bible we read, “they lifted up their voice to God with one accord…” (Acts 4:24)
We lift our hands in praise…
because in the Bible we read, “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.” (Psalm 134:2)
We sing with all our our hearts…
because in the Bible we read, “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.” (Psalm 98:4)
We play muscal instruments…
because in the Bible we read, “…And all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments…” ( II Samuel 6:5)
We clap and shout unto God…
because in the bible we read, “…O clap your hands all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph” (Psalm 47:1)
We dance in the Spirit…
because in the bible we read, “…Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: praise Him with stringed instruments and organs.” (Psalm 150:4)
We testify publicly…
because in the Bible we read, “I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.” (Psalm 22:22)
We anoint with oil for divine healing…
because in the Bible we read, “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” (James 5:14)
We allow the operation of spiritual gifts…
because in the Bible we read, “…when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation…” (I Corinthians 14:26)
What Is The Preaching Like?
At ARC, it is our sincere desire to share God’s Word in all its truth without watering anything down, but to do it in love, and in ways that are interesting, engaging and relevant to your daily life. While the Bible certainly does convict us of our sin in order to point out our lost condition, the overarching theme of the entire Bible is God’s unconditional love for all humankind, as is shown by God sending His precious Son, Jesus, to pay the price for our sin. If you attend one of our services, you will hear the truths of God’s Word presented passionately, clearly, and lovingly in ways that will make sense to you.
