What Time:

Sunday | 10:00am-11:30am

What To Wear:

You can see in pictures on our site that our dress is pretty casual, so don't stress out!

What To Expect: 

If you’ve never been to a church gather before, here's what you can expect:

• A "Welcome from Jesus Christ"

Everyone needs to hear this, so we do it every week!

• An opportunity to give to the church's gospel mission

To support our mission, we pass plates. But you can also give online here: https://clctonkawa.breezechms.com/give/online

• Scripture Reading

God gave us His story, His plans; everything we need for life and godliness, in a book! So we make a big deal out of it when it's read aloud.

• Singing

We love to sing. Our band leads us in songs that lift our hearts, voices, minds, hands, and feet, to God in thankfulness and praise. This is time for training our minds, but also engaging our hearts with God.

• Catechizing

We read responsively some "big truths" ranging from The Lord's Prayer, the Sermon on the Mount, and the 10 Commandments, to The Apostles and Nicene Creeds.

• Praying

We aim to pray alot.

First, one portion of our worship is devoted to "corporate intercession", which means we all pray together from God's word for someone or something. Whether that be the other churches in Tonkawa, missionaries we partner with around the globe, or a current crisis in the earth, we're intentional about asking God to do what only He can do.

Second, another portion of our worship is for "personal prayer." This part is really cool. Since the Lord has blessed our church with elders (what the bible calls the spiritual leaders of churches), they are available for anyone to come and pray with them about anything, bug or small.

• Preaching

Our preachers and teachers believe the scriptures are God's word and that Jesus is the point of the scriptures. That means when they preach, it's not time to hear "10 Tips for Whatever" or what the pastor thinks about the latest news. Preaching is for opening up God's word, telling what it says, how it applies, how the Spirit empowers us to obey it, and how Jesus is the point of it.

• The Lord's Supper

Jesus gave the church a meal to remember Him. By taking bread and a cup, the church proclaims Christ. Unbelievers are welcome to participate in every portion of our worship service, but this portion is reserved for baptized believers who are in good standing with a gospel church, whether CLC or elsewhere.

Led by our Children and Family Ministry Director, Carlee Denton, we work hard to make sure our babies, toddlers, and children are engaged with truth about Jesus, and are loved, cared for, and safe.
