Sunday Service
Our worship service is multigenerational. You can expect to see adults and college students both on stage leading worship as well as standing and sitting next to each other in the congregation.
We worship God together through congregational singing, prayer, reading and preaching of the Bible, sharing the Gospel, and giving tithes and offerings to the work of the church. We regularly observe baptism and the Lord's Supper together.
Our worship style is contemporary and utilizes a worship band to fit the context of the city of Tuscaloosa and the campus at the University of Alabama. You can expect newer worship songs to praise God as well as modern hymns. On special occasions, we will praise God together with orchestral instruments as well.
Our pastors preach primarily expository messages which means that we preach text-driven, Spirit-led messages, that are centered on glorifying Christ, and that prayerfully change lives.
