worship at faith
Worship is at the heart of who we are and worship is what leads us to act for a just world for all in service and in mercy!
Worship allows us to breathe deeply, be inspired by preaching from Scripture, and be ministered to through music that uplifts our souls. Worship reminds us that we practice our spirituality together as the Body of Christ, both when we gather together and when we take that love into our ordinary lives.
You will experience worship that is rooted in Scripture; liturgically thoughtful and musically soulful to help you experience God. The language in worship is broad to affirm the dignity of each person gathered and the expansiveness of God’s love that is theologically rich and also progressive and relevant for our daily lives. You can see examples here.
We celebrate two sacraments. Holy Communion and baptism. Communion is usually celebrated on the first Sunday of the month.
Worship services are held every Sunday at 10:45 am.

The Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism is a sign and seal of God’s covenant with all people. In baptism God promises by grace alone: to forgive our sins; to adopt us into the Body of Christ, the Church; to send the Holy Spirit daily to renew and cleanse us; and to resurrect us to eternal life. This promise is made visible in the water of baptism.
We rejoice in celebrating this sacrament for all infants and previously unbaptized adults. Much of our liturgy of baptism consists of promises made not just by the infant’ parents, or the adult being baptized, but also by the entire congregation. When someone is baptized at Faith, we promise our “love, support, and care” to them.
Because baptism requires the congregation to make this promises, it occurs within the context of a worship celebration. Baptism is offered throughout the year, and can be arranged by speaking to the pastor.
The Sacrament of Holy Communion
The Sacrament of Holy Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, is usually celebrated on the first Sunday of each month as well as on special days of the church year. The sacrament of communion is is a feast of remembrance, of communion, and of hope. It is celebrated on the first and third Sunday of each month. We believe that it is Christ who invites us to gather around his table, and so that table is open to everyone, everyone, everyone.
How do I take Communion?
Communion is served by both intinction and in the pews.
If Communion is being served by intinction:
You will be given instructions and invited forward You will be offered a piece of bread. Take it and dip it in the cup of grape juice. You may eat the elements immediately and then are invited to return to your seats.
If Communion is being served in the pews:
The pastor will send communion servers down the aisles to each pew. You may take a piece of pre-cut bread or gluten free cracker. You are invited to hold on to your bread until all have been served so that we may share the feast together. Likewise, red grape juice will be serve in little cups in the serving trays to be passed down the aisle. We will drink the cup together, then leave the cups in the pews (there are special little cup holders beside the hymn racks.)
