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 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.
