Worship Services at Autumn Ridge Church
Because we are a diverse gathering of believers in a diverse community, we have two distinct worship formats to choose from. The Adoration Worship service is led by the choir and orchestra; the Celebration Worship service is led by a band and praise team. However, both services are guided by our Worship Philosophy and Worship Core Values, providing an essential unity of spirit and purpose to both of these worship expressions.
Adoration Worship - Sunday at 9:00 a.m.
The Adoration service is led by the choir and orchestra. (Membership at Autumn Ridge Church is not a requirement for participation in the worship ministry.)
Our weekly choir rehearsal is a time of spiritual and musical preparation to lead worship. The choir rehearses each Wednesday night in the sanctuary from 6:30-8:30 p.m. (child care provided). We worship, pray, study the Bible and prepare the lead the congregation in worship. As well as participating in the 9:00 service, the choir sings at special seasonal outreach events. If you would like more information about joining the choir, contact Bill Price.
The orchestra is open to anyone with experience playing an orchestral instrument. The orchestra is led by Bill Price and you may contact him for more information. If you enjoyed playing an instrument in high school, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can regain your last level of study. The orchestra adds a wonderful spirit of enthusiasm to our Adoration Service.
Celebration Worship – Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
The Celebration service give us the opportunity to tell the ancient story of salvation in the musical language of our times. The Celebration service is led by the Band and Praise Team. An audition is required for the Celebration teams, and we are always looking for experienced singers and musicians to join us.
For more information about participating in the worship ministry of Autumn Ridge Church, email Bill Price.
Emmaus Service – Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
Autumn Ridge Church also provides a church service that is a targeted outreach to young adults in their 20s and 30s. The three guiding mandates for this service are authenticity, community and variety.
There will be a Nursery and Children's "Sunday School." Children will be in the sanctuary with us for worship, and then receive their own "Sunday School" lesson designed specifically for them.
Multiple worship teams will lead the congregation in various styles of worship ranging from loud, full band celebration to more reflective acoustic melodies. The goal of this is accomplish one of the three goals of the service... VARIETY!
A weekly meal will be available after each week's service.
We need people who are willing to help out with the service, and/or commit to coming on Saturday nights. If you have any questions or would like to provide feedback or ideas, please do not hesitate to email Pastor Bill Price at price.bill[at]autumnridgechurch.org
