New to South Strand
Welcome. We're glad you're here. We hope you find our church a welcoming place where you can get to know us and experience the joy of Jesus Christ together with us. We'll be happy to assist you in getting to know us, and getting you or your family connected to South Strand in ways that are both helpful and meaningful.
About Our Worship Service
Our Sunday morning service begins at 11:00. It lasts about an hour and 20 minutes. It includes a time of worship through singing, prayer, Scripture reading, and about a 45-minute sermon from the Bible.
Children (grades 1 - 6), can join a Sunday School class, where they learn the gospel and a sound Bible lesson.
Our format is preaching through a book of the Bible, verse by verse, from beginning to end by examining the original meaning of the text and how it applies in our lives today. Our current study is 2 Corinthians.
Our music is a blend of old and new hymns and praises songs. We aim to sing songs that turn us towards God, are full of theological truth, and exalt Jesus Christ. There is no formal dress code, but it tends to be business casual. There is always a mixture of ties and blue jeans.
We offer care during the worship service for young children up to five-year-olds (nursery, toddlers, preschool) with loving volunteers who will nurture and teach them the gospel. Parents will find the nursery a safe and welcoming place for their young children, birth through 24 months, to be while they attend worship.
Wednesday Evening
Wednesday evening service begins at 7:00pm. We worship with singing, spend an extended time in prayer, and study a biblical lesson together. We are currently studying Revelation. The service ends at 8:00.
What about church membership?
If you are interested in learning more about church membership, we teach a class called The List Matters. It lasts about four hours, and we usually offer this on a Saturday morning. It includes a breakfast. Contact Pastor Mike if you want to schedule a class with us.
