Our Worship

Worship is not something we do for one or two hours a week on Sunday. It is truly a way of life. However, there are special hours we set aside each week to gather as a congregation for the purpose of worshipping God. 

Worship will normally include the following:

• Congregational singing of hymns and worship songs led by our Worship Pastor and accompanied by our orchestra in our blended service.
• Congregational singing of worship songs and hymns led by our Assistant Worship Pastor and the worship band in The Venue.
• The public reading of Scripture.
• Times of prayer.
• Special musical presentations by our choir and other singers.
• The giving of our financial gifts to the work of Christ's church.
• The preaching of the Word of God.
• A time to reflect on and respond to God's Word.
• Periodically, the sharing of the Lord's Supper.
• Periodically, the celebration of believer's baptism. 

We love to sing the historic hymns of God's people. We also enjoy singing newer hymns and songs which express our praise to God. We understand and appreciate the various personal preferences of people regarding musical styles. Our focus is on the content of our music. We want to sing songs which are solid both theologically and musically; we also want to be creative and diverse in the ways we worship God through music. Music is just a means by which we can worship--it does not dictate what is and is not worship. 

The preaching at CABC is expositional. Basically, that means that the point of the sermon will be the point of a text of Scripture. Sometimes we work our way systematically through books of Scripture (Romans, Hosea for example). At other times, we deal with topics like family or salvation. Whether we are working through a book of the Bible or dealing with a topic, an expositional method will be used to explain and apply the words of God to our lives.
