Worship is not about styles, such as “traditional” or “contemporary”
or “praise”. Worship is about taking the opportunity to express our adoration
for our great God and Redeemer in a way that is meaningful to the worshipers. Worship is for God’s pleasure and our
blessing.
We provide three different worship settings
at Atlantic: Traditional, Worship and Praise & Worship.
- Traditional:
Uses acts of worship such as the Apostle’s Creed and the Psalter and songs from the United Methodist Hymnal and
the Faith We Sing supplemental book. Worship music is provided by our pipe organ and piano. Musical witness
is shared by our vocal choirs and bell choir.
- Worship: Is a blend of both Traditional and Praise and Worship.
- Praise & Worship: Uses a praise band,
including acoustical guitar, bass guitar, and flute, along with one vocalist. The praise & worship service
is divided between praise music, altar prayer ministry, testimonies and the preaching of the Word. The words to music and
scripture are projected for the worshippers to follow.
The Biblical texts
and sermon is the same in all services. All preaching and teaching is lifted from the Bible and is Christ-centered
and relevant to our real-life setting and is socially and morally responsible as the Word of God requires.
Drama is
used in both our traditional, worship, and praise & worship settings.
The Sacrament
of Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month in all worship settings. Our communion is open to all believers
regardless of denomination.
If you miss even one service,
you are missing something special.
