Modern Worship

9:30 AM | FPC Fellowship Hall
2nd & 4th Sundays

  • Our Modern Worship service updates the Presbyterian style of worship to make it more relaxed and welcoming for those uncomfortable in the traditional church setting.

  • Our Modern Worship service shares many aspects with the “contemporary worship” you may have experienced elsewhere - we have a band that plays praise music, for instance. But our service is not going to be the exact same as those. We’re still wedded to our Presbyterian identity, and it is that identity that guides us. So, the preaching is still thoughtful, relatable, and tied to scripture. We’ll still play some favorite hymns every now and again (though updated and played by the band). We don’t have a giant auditorium with all kinds of lights, instead we meet in our humble fellowship hall and sit around simple round tables, where you’re welcome to grab a cup of coffee and relax.

  • You are welcome to worship with us no matter who you are or what your background is. We’re not going to try to change you or force you to become somebody new, but we will walk beside you and help you deepen and live out your faith with integrity.

  • Children are always welcome! We currently do not have a nursery for this service, but children of any age can sit with the family or go to the kids corner to interact with activities. There is also a Children’s Moment in the service where they can be included in a time meant to encourage curiosity in their burgeoning faiths.

  • Our Modern Service isn’t currently streamed, but as we continue to upgrade our capabilities, we will add a live stream option.

“In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God’s new heaven and new earth praying, ‘Come, Lord Jesus.’”
