Within our auditorium we hold a worship service open to everyone. We are led in several prayers to God and sing songs that praise Him and encourage each other. Most follow the songs using the overhead screen, but song books are in the pews for those who prefer to use them.

The central focus of this time each and every week is our participation in the Lord's Supper memorial. Matthew 26:26-29

The sermon sometimes focuses on a very specific Bible passage while at other times is more topical in nature. Every time we meet, an invitation to accept God's grace through the waters of baptism is offered.

Simultaneously, a service is conducted in the Fellowship Building called Bible Hour. This is intended for children in the 6th grade and younger and is conducted each Sunday Morning by two of our elders, Keith Jones and Duane Landefeld. They incorporate Bible readings, story-telling, and puppets to teach God's word to these young minds.

While Bible Hour was instituted primarily to minister to our JOY Bus riders, all children and teens are welcome to participate.

Scores of faithful, dedicated men have served as Elders and Deacons of the congregations over the years. Currently, the church is overseen by Bob Burrow of Beallsville, Keith Jones, who also serves as our Associate Minister, Duane Landefeld of Miltonsburg, Jeff Bettinger and Brian Rose of Woodsfield.

Eleven faithful men serve as Deacons, helping to maintain the facilities and see to the day-to-day functions of the church.
