STATEMENT OF FAITH

Since the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are inerrant, infallible, inspired by God and reveal His eternal will and purpose in Christ Jesus, they shall stand as the sole authority and guide for the faith and practice of this church. The 2000 statement of The Baptist Faith and Message expresses the doctrinal convictions of this congregation. The church shall observe the ordinances of believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper as symbolic testimonies and remembrances of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.

What does a Typical Service Look Like?

We worship God through music, singing, and prayer during the first half of the service. The second half is spent studying God’s Word together. Elmcrest is committed to expository Bible teaching, which is essentially teaching the main idea of a given passage, and then making God’s truth relevant to our everyday life. At the end of the service, there is opportunity to respond to God through prayer, personal discussions and other forms of worship. You are welcome to request prayer, make private or even public next steps and commitments to God.

What does the pastor usually talk about?

We believe that God wants to be involved in our everyday lives, so we present the ageless truths of the Bible in a format that's easy to understand, even if you’ve never

been to church.

The sermon will be over a certain section of the Bible.

Application will be made to daily life.

We are committed to expository preaching which means we teach the main point of the Bible text. We typically go verse by verse through entire books of the Bible. Though occasionally we will discuss the Bible.

What if I don't normally go to church?

At Elmcrest we want to create a welcoming environment for those who are curious about God.

You don't have to believe what we believe to be welcome in our worship services.

How can I get involved in serving?

If you are interested in serving at Elmcrest you can speak to pastor Stephen or any of our deacons and you will be provided guidance to fulfill your calling to serve.

What do I wear

Some wear a suit and others jeans, shorts, tennis shoes or flip flops. Don't feel like you have to "dress up" to come to Elmcrest.
