Sunday Worship

Corporate worship is what we were created to do and it is our ultimate goal. All of our work at this church is directed to glorifying and enjoying our Creator in this way.

At Wheatland we believe that Worship is the act of acknowledging the greatness of God and expressing love for him. The believing community gathers to worship God through faith in Jesus Christ, inviting the skeptic, the hurting and the unbelieving to join with them. When the community's worship is real there will be an environment of warmth and acceptance. This corporate worship encourages participants to better express their personal faith in Jesus Christ and their need of his grace. A multiplicity in forms and styles enable a broad cross section of the community to engage in real worship.

The elements of worship we utilize are always being reformed according to the broad guidelines set forth in Scripture, with the goal being that of giving us the freedom to worship God in a way that is pleasing to Him. This is accomplished by reviving old forms of worship which are helpful but have fallen out of use and by developing new forms of worship that utilize the tools, language and culture of our day. We develop these new forms believing God seeks out those in our generation he wishes to save, so we expect unbelievers in worship and strive to create an environment where they can be lovingly confronted with the transforming power of Jesus.

Worship at Wheatland makes use of all the means of grace in a beautiful and varied way in hopes of engaging the hearts and minds of the diverse Body of Christ. We preach the Bible's message of God's grace through Jesus Christ to broken people, inviting them to respond by faith. The administration of Baptism and the Lord's Supper is set clearly within the context of the Gospel. Prayer in worship is both corporate and individual-spoken and silent. Opportunities are presented to make visible the body of Christ in fellowship.
