What to Expect
If you have not worshiped with us before, here is what you can expect. Morning service is offered at 9:30am. Greeters will welcome you as you walk in, and they can answer questions you may have. If you have young children, we provide nurseries for them if you choose. When you're ready to be seated, an usher will assist you in finding a seat and provide you with an Order of Worship. You are invited to inquire about our nurseries, activities and ministries at the Information Center in the lobby. Our evening service is offered at 5:00pm. Nursery is provided for this service as well.
Worship at First Byron
Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of the will to his purpose—and all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and therefore the chief remedy for that self centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin.
-William Temple
What We Believe
We believe in God the Son who came to this earth as Jesus Christ, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and arose from the dead to give us new life.
We believe in God the Holy Spirit who lives in the believer and continually nurtures the believer that he may grow in his understanding and expression of the Christian life.
We believe that God does His work through the ministry of the church. That the church is compelled to be involved in a Word and Deed ministry, faithfully teaching and preaching the Bible, which is God's inspired revelation of Himself, and doing the works of Christ as we reach out in compassion to the lost and needy.
We believe that through faith in Jesus Christ we receive the forgiveness of sins, one day will be raised from the dead, and share in the glory of eternal life.
