What To Expect During Our Worship Service
-
Intergenerational
At Christ the King, we do what is known as intergenerational service. Intergenerational simply means everyone, regardless of age, has something to contribute to the community’s life. Therefore, although we have specific age ministries, we involve all ages in leading, even, and especially, in the main service. We believe the young have something to teach the older about faith, as it is the other way around. All of us, after all, are siblings in Christ, incomplete without the other!
This has been the practice of the Church throughout the ages. We believe this practice helps avoid the main service becoming “my parent’s church” for the younger generation. The church belongs to everyone!

Rooted in the Word, living the story of Christ
Our lives are transformed when the story of Christ becomes our story. Every Sunday, the worship service is anchored in the Lectionary reading that follows the Liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time (Time After Epiphany), Lent, Easter, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time (Time After Pentecost). Each week, early in the week, the different worship areas of the church (the worship team, the prayer team, and the preacher) began to meditate, reflect, and pray on the same set of Scripture verses that make the lectionary selection. This would then be translated into song selections, prayer points, a preaching topic, and points of reflection to emphasize during the celebration of the Eucharist. All of this is carried out in order to express the story of Christ in each particular ministry.

Breaking bread
In our worship service, we celebrate the Eucharist every week. This is our thanksgiving meal. As this is the table of radical hospitality hosted by Christ, everyone is invited to partake. This weekly meal reminds us that God’s kingdom is not about eating and drinking but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. As Christ hosts and feeds us at this table of grace and mercy, we are sent back into the world to extend the same grace and mercy we have received.

Spirit-filled
The mouthpiece of the Holy Spirit in the gathering (the ecclesia) is not a personality. Instead, the Spirit’s agent is all the different elements of worship (preaching, singing, praying, communion, etc.) in unison. Our worship service aims to create a space for all these different worship elements to be a conduit of what the Spirit wants to convey to the community. With such a space, we believe our worship service as a whole will always be greater than the sum of all its parts.
