What to Expect

We meet outdoors behind the Buffalo Chip Saloon on Sunday mornings at 9:00. A covered canopy, mesquite trees, fans, and misters give us plenty of shade in the summer, while fire pits and heaters, and good old sunshine keep us comfortable in the winter. But we are outside throughout the year, so be sure to dress accordingly.

Other than dogs being welcome in our services, you’ll find our worship fairly typical. When you arrive, you’ll likely be offered a bulletin and the elements for the Lord’s Supper before finding your seat at a picnic table under a mesquite tree, in a chair, or at a table under our covered canopy. An old-fashioned church bell signals the start of the service.

We usually sing four songs accompanied by guitar, harmonica, and mandolin. Because of where we meet, our songs blend the old and new and have a distinctly western flavor. And because we value congregational singing, our music is arranged and pitched so that the average person can comfortably sing along.

We read the Scriptures aloud. We listen to a message from God’s Word.  Generally, our weekly messages take us through a single book of the Bible.

We close every service by sharing Communion together.

We do not take an offering, but offering boxes are available at the back for any who wish to contribute. Our services are scheduled to end promptly at 10:00.

We design our worship service to be simple and sincere, encouraging and hopeful — welcoming to those new to Christianity and helpful to veteran followers of Jesus Christ.
