"Know that the Lord is God!  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.  Give thanks to Him, bless His name!  For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever and His faithfulness to all generations."
Psalm 100, portions

The worship of God is the most important calling of the people of faith!  Although there are many aspects of being a Christian in community, worship is central.  As a Christian people, we discover who we are in relationship to God as well as learning to identify the vision, inspiration and strength for our God-commissioned ministry.

Jesus said that we must first "love the Lord your God" (Matthew 22:37) and secondly He said we must "love our neighbor" (Matthew 22:39).  We gather in worship each week to share our love of God and by doing so we are given the compassion to love others.  Worship is what really makes us a congregation of strangers become a church of friends and servants.  We believe that over time, communion with God as revealed in Jesus Christ, will enable each worshipper to share and own the covenant of our church, a covenant which calls us to go out into the world to share the transforming love of Christ with all.

People often reflect upon worship here at FCC of Clarkston as being warm and friendly, simple yet dignified.  The quality of music in its form, flow and tempo all express the joy, grace and thankfulness of our Lord.  There is a liveliness of spirit evident in the opening hymn to the quiet and peaceful calm of the time of prayer in mid service to the sending hymn and postlude calling us back to the world.  The preaching of the church flows from the Word of God, engaging the heart and mind with a relevant message.  It is our conviction that we are the people of the Book (Bible) and through the light and truth.  The book of Acts tells us that the first followers of Jesus, "devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayers" (Acts 2:42)  May it be said so of us as well, and may you find a welcome here in worship through the Spirit.  Godspeed.

10:00 a.m. Sunday Morning - We try to appeal to a broad range of musical tastes by using both traditional hymns and contemporary worship songs.  This is a more traditional service with Holy Communion on the first Sunday of every month.
