Christ Church of Lakeland

Worship at Christ Church

Every Lord's Day the Triune God graciously calls us together to worship Him as His people. In response to the Lord's call, we serve Him by praising His Name and presenting ourselves as living sacrifices.

But God also serves us as we worship. The service that He provides to us is the renewal of our covenant relationship with Him through the good gifts He gives us.

At Christ Church of Lakeland, we see the Lord's Day worship as central to our life as a congregation. It's during this time that God brings us before Him in order to cleanse us from our sin, instruct us by His Word, and feed our church family at His table. Thanks to God's service to us in this way, we are then renewed, equipped and sent out to serve His kingdom in the coming week through our respective callings.

Because the Lord is our God and we are His people, we rejoice to come into His presence each Sunday to give Him the honor of which He is worthy and receive the renewal that we all need. Our liturgy – or order of service -- is based on principles that run throughout the Bible, and is designed to restore all who worship Him in such a way that they would be able to live each week effectively for Him and for His glory.

To learn more about our worship, take a look at the sample liturgy that we have made available. In looking it over, you will see that the entire service is so ordered to take you into God's presence in order to receive of His grace and be newly commissioned to serve Him in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ.
