Reformed Worship

The Importance of Biblical Worship

God has told us how He would have us worship Him in His Word. We are committed to following Scripture’s commands for worship and, thereby, necessarily committed to rejecting extra-Biblical demands on worship.

Music in Worship

God has commanded us to sing, for example, but He has not defined a particular style or instrumentation for such music. Believing worship music is bound to a particular style or particular instruments is in itself a violation of the “Regulative Principle of Worship;” to bind worship in that way is to elevate non-Scriptural preferences to the level of Biblical commands. We are committed therefore to a diversity of styles — including (but not limited to) chant, hymnody, folk, and bluegrass — and a diversity of instruments, such as organ, piano, keyboard, strings, acoustic, and electric guitars, and percussion. All should be done for the edification of the congregation and the glory of God.

Children in Worship

Under normal circumstances, a nursery for infants and young children is provided during our Sunday school and worship services. All nursery workers must complete an application and be subject to a mandatory criminal background check. A cry room is also located directly off the sanctuary, where parents may train children. If the parents prefer, children of all ages are welcome to stay in the sanctuary with their families during worship. Children are a gift from the Lord, and their voices are welcome in worship!

The Lord’s Table

We practice a form of open communion at Trinity, meaning anyone is welcome to partake of the Lord's Supper as long as he has made a credible profession of faith, avoided heinous, unrepentant sins, and is a member in good standing of a Bible-believing, evangelical church.
