An Invitation from the Pastor

Welcome to Rock of Ages!  Join us every Sunday at 9 a.m. in person or via our livestream as we hear how much we are forgiven and made whole by Jesus! His mercies are new every morning!  Come and see!

Pastor James Maxwell

What to Expect

Joining a new community is often intimidating. Several of our members like to say, "we take our salvation very seriously, but not ourselves!" At Rock of Ages you'll find a community of Christians gathered around God's Word and Sacraments each Sunday morning at 9:00am. At the conclusion of worship we gather for fellowship with coffee, bagels, donuts, and the occasional cake. Then we gather for education hour from 10:30am(ish) to 11:30am with Sunday school for the kids and adult Bible class for the big kids.

But I have kids!

We love having kids in worship! If they are prone to wander? We all are! If they are a little loud from time to time? Our pastors have microphones ! We want our kids to know Jesus and we dedicate a kids message time every Sunday before the sermon just for them. And our Pastors strive to make their sermons accessible and fun for the kids also.

Nursing mothers are welcome to stay in worship! If you would feel more comfortable, we do have a more private "nursing nook" in the narthex (entryway). Changing tables are located in the upstairs bathroom, in the "nursing nook," and the basement ladies room.

But I don't know what to wear!

Some of our folks wear suits and ties, others wear polos and jeans. In general it’s a “business casual” environment, but this is not mandated, nor does it mean that God will love you more if you do. Many of us just dress a little nicer on Sundays to teach our kids church is important. Just as you know your spouse still loves you in workout pants, so does God, but it’s still nice to show you care.

I don't know what I should expect? 

If you like labels, “traditional” or “liturgical” would be appropriate terms to use, but we also make use of more modern hymnody too accompanied by organ or piano. You'll find use of hymnals, printed orders of worship, "Divine Service," and even the occasional use of Matins (slightly modified to accommodate for the celebration of the Sacrament of the Altar.)Really, we just strive to be a place where the Word is rightly preached and the Sacraments are administered rightly.During the seasons of Advent and Lent, we have additional midweek worship services (without Communion) on Wednesday evenings.

What about communion? 

Holy Communion is celebrated every week at Rock of Ages. This is a very sacred and holy meal for us. We believe that in the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper we truly receive the body and blood of Jesus in, with, and under the bread and wine for the forgiveness of our sin and the strengthening of our faith. (Matthew 26:26-28; I Corinthians 10:16) We also believe that all who come to the Lord’s Table should be in complete unity in what they believe about Jesus and His teachings (I Corinthians 11:26). This is not meant to exclude, but to respect. If you belong to another church family, or are still learning about the Christian faith, we respect that. We don’t want you to compromise your personal beliefs by communing with us, and we respect and honor your decision to refrain from communing until you agree with what we believe. If you have any questions about this, or want or learn more about our Communion practice, please talk with our pastor this morning or before your next visit with us.

Where do I park?
