What Is WOW Like?

This service was started in February of 2004 as a response of the community to have a second opportunity to worship. Some of the regular church members wanted a contemporary service, but also allow for a casual atmosphere. We also wanted an opportunity to reach out to those seeking Christ for the first time. Last year, we were able to baptize 8 people in one evening. WOW is about evangelizing and reaching out to others. Community outreach is also a key component to worship.

Worship On Wednesday is a very casual worship experience geared towards a younger audience. However, a great deal of older people enjoy the upbeat music, the candlelight, and informal worship. We gather in the Fellowship Hall before the service and usually have good conversation. After a 2 song introduction to move into the worship area, the service starts. We have a welcome, sing a praise song, and enter into a time of prayer. Scripture is read and the message is given. We celebrate communion every Wednesday. Communion is open to all believers regardless of their church home. A closing song and benediction is given, and we adjourn.
