9:15am:  Traditional Worship Service

“Traditional” at Bacon Heights does not mean “boring or old-fashioned.”  What it does mean is that, during this service, you will encounter a worship experience, musically, full of the old (and a few not-so-old) hymns.  We have a great love for the old hymns - their lyrics rich in theology.  Should you find time to study the background of the hymns and their authors you will discover a goldmine of inspiration.  After all, a hymn - at its core - is simply someone's life-changing story put to music (many hymns were originally written without musical accompaniment anyway.)  In addition, you’ll hear our Adult Choir and Orchestra sing and play everything from traditional to Southern Gospel to modern-day musical arrangements.

 
10:45am:  Contemporary Worship Service

Our “contemporary” service is characterized, musically, by more modern worship music and accompanied by our Bacon Heights Praise Band.  Some mistakenly believe that “contemporary worship” equals a “dumbing down” of our worship of Christ.  But, nothing could be farther from the truth.  We love modern Christ-centered music, which we have found to be, simply, Scriptural truth in Scriptural language.  In addition, many contemporary worship songs are excellent vehicles for getting God’s Word into the memories of worshipers, adult and children alike.  

 
Both Services:  (Common denominators)

Regardless of which musical style you prefer or which service you attend, you will find a worship service:

* driven by the Word of God

* motivated by the love of Christ

* filled with the Holy Spirit 

* and intensely worshipful

Regarding “what to wear:”

Although the “traditional” service has more of a “suit & tie” feel to it – and the “contemporary” service has a more casual feel - you will find people in both services dressed however they prefer to dress.  Regardless of if you like “dressing up” or wearing a t-shirt & flip-flops, you are welcome and will feel right at home!

Each Service is led by Dr. Jerry Joplin, our Senior Pastor, and Nick Watts, our Music/Worship Pastor.
