What to Expect

Service

As we begin our time of worship, we sing several songs, offer prayers and hear Scripture read. Preaching at Pillar Church is generally expositional, meaning that it seeks to declare the point of a particular Biblical passage. Sermons usually last around 30 – 40 minutes and are packed with material for reflection. All preaching is driven by the Gospel, the Bible’s main message of God saving sinners through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. After the sermon, we sing a song or two in response to what was preached and then close in prayer. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of every month, and baptize all who come to Jesus in faith and repentance. 

 

Music

The music we sing at Pillar Church is a blend of old and new. Most of us who are comfortable with music from one particular era have discovered, while at Pillar, that we have come to enjoy other songs we had not previously encountered. Congregational singing emphasizes the gathered body of believers singing praise to God with one voice.

Post-Service

A typical service is finished by 11-11:30 am. Don’t run out the door, though! We stick around after worship to meet new people, get to know each other better, and catch up with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Don’t miss out on the fellowship!

FAQ

Questions?

What kind of church is Pillar?

Pillar is a church plant of the Praetorian Project and is a Baptist church in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention. However, our congregation is made up of members from various denominational backgrounds. Our teaching is from a Reformed perspective and we embrace complementarianism in both the home and church. We are led by elders, served by deacons, and governed by the congregation.


What do you think about children in worship?

We joyfully welcome children in worship. We believe our children are shaped just like we are through the preached Word and corporate worship, for “faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). While we do have a nursery room available for you to step out to if you feel your children are being too disruptive, we believe that our children learn the rhythms of Christian life and worship by participating alongside their parents week after week. The voices of our children joining in the Doxology remind us that the Lord is building his church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
