At Exalting Christ Church, we gather each Sunday morning to worship God. Because we believe the Bible is the only enduring foundation (Is. 40:8), we try to base every element of service on God's Word. We try to read the Bible, sing the Bible, pray the Bible, show the Bible, live the Bible and preach the Bible! We do this through the following elements:
Service Leading
To help us all meaningfully interact with each part of service, there is a designated service leader to guide our time together. These men aim to shepherd the congregation to worship thoughtfully and passionately.
Prayer
We spend time each worship gathering praying. Usually, at the beginning of service, there is a pastoral prayer offering supplications for our service, church body, other congregations and gospel concerns abroad.
Preaching
Singing
We love to sing to the Lord! We both open our services and conclude our services with singing God's praises. We aim to sing songs that are biblically rich in gospel truth, and we aim to sing with full-bodied and faith-filled joy.
The Lord's Supper
As often as we gather as a church for morning worship, we intend to partake of the Lord's Supper. Each Sunday we explain its meaning, who is welcome to participate with us, and how Scripture calls us to come to the Table.
Hospitality
Each Sunday we hear a sermon from a passage of Scripture. We aim for the sermons to explain what the passage says, show how it speaks of Christ and how it applies to us. Most sermons are between 50-60 mins.
The Lord has wonderfully welcomed us through the cross! Because of this, we do our best to greet every person with the affection of Christ. We'll have a cup of coffee, an open seat and a warm welcome to all.
We are far from a perfect church! But by the grace of God, we are pressing on towards greater maturity in Christ for the sake of God's glory. "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen."

General FAQ
How long is service?
Our services usually run about 2hrs.
What should I wear to church?
Most of our congregation dresses pretty casually for service. Aside from general modesty, the Bible doesn’t say much about our dress and external presentation. As scriptures says, “man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart” (1 Sam. 16:7). Therefore, we believe God isn’t concerned with us dressing either formally or casually, but rather that we are worshiping Him in spirit and in truth. So if you join us for a service, please dress however you are most comfortable.
What about my kids?
We don’t have ‘children’s church’ or childcare during our worship service. In Deut. 31:12 we‘re told, “Assemble the people, men, women, and little ones, and the sojourner within your towns, that they may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God, and be careful to do all the words of this law”. Therefore, our hope is that kids can stay with parents in the gathering and learn how to worship God.
To serve parents and help them minister to their children’s varied needs—we have a family space downstairs and a nursery room. We also have a video feed of the service streamed downstairs as well.

Where should I park?
Mostly everyone uses street parking for our gatherings. To serve our neighbors, we ask that you refrain from parking within 5ft of a driveway.
