What to Expect

At Linville Creek we believe that worship is both about giving praise to God while also strengthening the bond between individuals. Worship is meant to be done together! Each Sunday you'll experience plenty of music, a children's story, a time for sharing with and praying for one another, and a 12-15 minute reflection/sermon. We sometimes have special worship services with dance groups, all music Sundays, children led worship, outdoor worship, and more! It is our hope that worship will help us grow deeper in our faith and closer to one another. You are invited to come as you are!

Some Answers to Frequently Asked Questions: We don't have any dress expectations! Children are encouraged in church and we understand that they sometimes make noise; we believe that is a glorious sound to have in church! We have children's church on 2nd and 4th Sundays during the school year. Nursery is provided every Sunday. We believe in using lay leadership during worship so if you feel called to help lead in worship just let us know!

Music Ministry

Music is an important part of our worship and we seek to have "blended" worship. We don't have just one style of music but use everything from the Organ to the Ukulele to praise God through song! We have an adult and a children's choir that meets for 10 months of the year. We have a praise choir offering a contemporary style of music during worship. Hymns are most often accompanied by piano and organ. Additionally, we love using the musical gifts from within the church and strongly encourage anyone willing to share their musical gift to do so in praise of God.
