Sundays, 9:40 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

Both of the Sunday morning worship experiences in the Sanctuary are traditional in style. The Sanctuary Choir under the direction of Dr. Bob Hatfield provides uplifting choral music accompanied by the pipe organ, piano and frequently featuring either the Dawson Orchestra, the brass ensemble, or other musicians. 

While the congregational singing involves traditional Christian hymns, contemporary congregational choruses are also used some times to express praise. 
Worship in the Sanctuary includes the public reading of Scripture, prayer, a call to service, and the sermon by Senior Pastor, Dr. Gary Fenton.

HYMN No. 43: “This Is My Father’s World” TERRA PATRIS
1. This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears,
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world, I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; His hand the wonders
wrought.

2. This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise;
The morning light, the lily white declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world, He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me
everywhere.

3. This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world, the battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heaven
be one.
