WHAT TO EXPECT
Each week, the order differs a little, but there will be a mix of Scripture reading, singing, praying, giving, and a sermon from Scripture to help us understand and apply God’s wisdom to our lives. Every week there is also fellowship time before the sermon. After service ends, we greet each other, meet visitors, and enjoy fresh donuts and coffee.
During worship, we sing a cappella (without instruments). We enjoy this traditional singing style that enables every voice to be heard because Scripture tells us to (1Co. 14:15; Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16; Heb. 2:12). We hope you will appreciate the feeling of community it creates.
We share Communion (Acts 20:7) during the first half of every service. In addition to remembering Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and return, this “meal” emphasizes that God has adopted us and brought us together as a family.
frequently asked
questions
Should I come wearing my “Sunday Best”?
We like to describe Princeton Church of Christ as comfortable. Most of us prefer clothes on the casual end of the spectrum. In the Bible, James strongly encourages hospitality regardless of someone’s appearance. So, whether you come in a t-shirt and board shorts, suit and tie, or something in between, we welcome you.
How do children fit in at Princeton Church of Christ?
Worship is for everyone. Hopefully, all of us sing, pray, read, listen, and think. We have Bible classes for a wide spectrum of ages during the sermon.
Do you have communion every week?
Before Jesus was crucified, he shared a Passover meal with His twelve disciples. During the meal, Jesus asked His followers to remember Him through two symbols borrowed from the Passover Seder. According to the apostolic example in Acts 20:7, when the church met on the first day of the week, each Sunday (Jesus’ resurrection day), we share these symbols of unleavened bread and wine (grape juice) to reconnect with the life-changing power of Jesus’ death, resurrection, and anticipated return.
