O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. -Psalm 95:6-7
Worship
Worship truly matters at Starling Avenue Baptist Church. Expressions of faith at our church find their source and strength in the worship of God.
Worship at SABC strives to be both warm and traditional. We place a high priority on reverencing God and upholding the most meaningful traditions of the Christian church. Our style of worship affirms both the holy transcendence and familiar closeness of God’s nature. Our worship is enhanced by liturgical robes, the Christ candle, litanies, prayers, choral music, Scripture readings, a sermon, and sharing communion.
Our worship follows the rhythm of the Christian Liturgical Year that begins four Sundays before Christmas with the celebration of Advent. The story of Christ is then told—Sunday after Sunday—as we move through Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time.
On Sundays we have a deaf interpreter in the service.
