About Our Worship

Our liturgy is derived from the historic liturgy of the Reformation and the Anglican Church. If you are used to a non-denominational or Baptist church, our service will seem “high church” and formal. If you are coming from a Roman Catholic background, you will probably find our service familiar but more relaxed than what you are used to.

You can learn more about our beliefs on our “What We Believe” page.

 At Glory of God and in the Classical Anglican Tradition, the purpose of our worship is to renew our covenant with God.

 The service has several parts:

A Call to Worship

 The pastor invites us to “ascend the mountain of the Lord.” We pray and sing a hymn together. 

The Reading of the Scriptures

A reader will read a section of the Old Testament, the Psalms, the New Testament. and one of the Gospels.

We will sing the Gloria Patri together 

An Expository Sermon

The pastor will read through a section of scripture, verse-by-verse

A Confession of Sin

We will kneel and confess our sins, but privately and corporately.

The pastor will remind us that our sins are forgiven through the finished work of Jesus Christ. 

The Partaking of Communion

We take the Lord’s Supper together and thank him by singing the Doxology 

A Benediction and Commission

The pastor commissions us to go and live as Christians. We sing a joyful tune to celebrate what God has done.

A mix of traditional hymns, psalms, and carefully selected modern songs

Hearing passages from the Bible read out loud

Prayers we say together in unison.

Our services are structured by the Modernized Book of Common Prayer 1552 and the 

Book of Common Prayer 2019. Everything you’ll need to join in is on the screen.

All baptized Christians, including children, are welcome to receive both bread and wine from the Lord’s Table.

At Glory of God, we encourage families to have their children to participate throughout our services, recognizing that our children are also members of God’s covenant community. (Gen 17:7-8; Acts 2:38-39).

Children of any age who are baptized are welcome to receive Holy Communion at their parent or guardians discretion.
