From September to June we offer
two Sunday Worship Services
8:30am Contemporary | 10am Traditional
8:30am Contemporary Service
The Hunt’s Praise Band leads the congregational worship for the 8:30am Contemporary Worship Service with guitars, drums, bass, keyboards and voices to upbeat contemporary praise and worship songs. The band rehearses weekly in the church and is always open to new members who would like to share their instrumental or vocal talents to make a joyful noise to the Lord.
The Contemporary Worship Service is an informal time of singing praise and worship songs, prayer, hearing, and reflecting on God’s Word, and timely messages for daily living and spiritual growth. Casual dress is welcome.
10am Traditional Service
The 10am Traditional Worship Service combines the use of traditional prayers and liturgy with scripture, powerful faith-based messages for daily living, a wonderful music program, combining the talents of Hunt’s Chancel Choir with favorite hymns and songs.
The service starts with the Acolyte (child) who lights the candles during worship service. The pastor typically opens the service with a welcome to all, followed by a hymn and the children’s message. After the children’s message, the children are invited attend Sunday School. As the worship service continues, there is a time for prayer concerns among the congregation, the sermon, and the benediction. Refreshments and a time of fellowship follow the service downstairs in VanMetre Hall.
