Please join us on a Sunday morning for worship. As you will read below, we offer both English and Spanish language services, and you can participate in-person or virtually. If you want to attend virtually, please request the Zoom link.
About Worship at ACOC
Our worship services are an encounter with God – a chance for us to offer ourselves, our praise, and our concerns to God, and an opportunity for God to be present among us, transforming us into God’s image.
During worship we are led in prayer and scripture readings, and we hear a sermon. At these assemblies, both men and women may read scripture and pray aloud. The congregation joins in acapella singing (no instruments other than our voices) and responsive scripture readings. We take part in communion (also called the Lord’s Supper), a time when we eat unleavened bread and drink grape juice or wine as a way to remember the body and blood of Jesus. We do this not seated in pews but face to face, gathered around tables. It is a time of communion with our Savior, yes, but also with one another, so don’t be surprised by the offer of a handshake or hug or someone asking your name and welcoming you. You can read here about why we take communion the way we do.
Our worship can also include prayer requests, baptisms, commitments from new individuals joining our body of believers, and blessings for babies and their families. Our elders and ministers welcome the opportunity to listen and pray with you about your needs as well as answer any inquiries about our faith and our practices. Please reach out, either at the end of services, or via our online visitor or prayer request page, or phone or email to make your needs known to us.
