CONTEMPORARY OR TRADITIONAL?
We are very blessed to have the unique opportunity to provide two different worship styles that will help you grow in your spiritual journey. If you are uncertain about which style of worship is right for you, here is a brief overview of both our Contemporary and Traditional worship services.
Contemporary Worship: Our contemporary service is held at our South Campus Location which has been designed and built to complement the contemporary worship style. You can expect an uplifting musical experience as our Praise and Worship Team leads you in song each Sunday. In typical contemporary fashion, the lyrics to our worship songs are projected on a large screen in the front of the sanctuary. This allows worshipers to more fully engage in singing musical selections during worship. Musical selections are mostly of the contemporary christian genre and are usually very familiar to worshipers the regularly listen to this style of music. The weekly sermon is delivered by our Lead Pastor, David Israel in a contemporary, engaging format and is usually part of a sermon series.
Our hospitality team is hard at work each Sunday at our South Campus location making sure that you receive a warm, friendly welcome. Members of this team will greet you at the door when you arrive and answer any questions you may have. Our kitchen volunteers will be happy to provide you with a beverage and some light refreshments for you to enjoy.
If you have children, ages Nursery - 5th grade, they will also receive a warm welcome into our children's ministry at the South Campus location. We have a nursery and pre-school area and classes for children up to 5th grade. You can check your child in at the check in desk in the hallway to the right as you enter the church. A church member will be present to direct your child to the proper class and answer any questions you may have.
Children's classes are from 10:15 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. The nursery is open at 8:45 a.m. For more information about our South CampusYouth Ministries, contact Mark Bowles, Director of Education.
Adult Small Group Ministry: These classes occur each Sunday prior to worship 8:45 - 10:00 a.m. in one of the classrooms at the South Campus location. Here, you can experience the gospel in a very personal way, where discussion and group interaction will prove to become very rewarding aspects of your spiritual growth. For more information about enrollment into a small group class, contact: Michele Litzelfelner, Director of Spiritual Growth.
Traditional Worship: Our traditional worship services are held at the High Street Sanctuary, 225 South High Street, Jackson, MO. (573) 243-8487. This sanctuary was built in 1908 and has become the church home to thousands of worshipers throughout the years. Upon entering the sanctuary, you will notice the beautiful stained glass and unique architectural features. As you sing traditional hymns with the Chancel Choir to the sounds of a beautiful pipe organ, you will experience a richly rewarding worship in a very classic, traditional setting. The sermon is delivered by our Lead Pastor, David Israel. Service times are: Saturday - 5:30 p.m., Sunday - 9:00 p.m.
