read moreWhy should I go to church?
While God calls us to worship Him in private and in families, He also calls us to worship Him corporately on the Lord’s Day. The fact that our Sunday morning worship is corporate has a few implications. – The congregation participates as a body. Thus, we use some forms like hymns and written prayers and responses for the congregation to say together, as well as extemporaneous prayer led by the pastor, to which the congregation assents by saying “amen.” – Our gathering is inclusive of the whole covenant community. It...

All true worship must be regulated by Scripture . This means that we worship according to the Bible: “the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by Himself, and so limited by his own revealed will, that he may not be worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men, or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representation, or any other way not prescribed in the holy Scripture.” Westminster Confession of Faith 21.1 God, not us, decides and reveals what is pleasing to Him. He calls us to worship and to worship...

We gather together on Sunday, the Lord’s Day, at 968 Meyer Road, Wentzville 63385. All are welcome to join us and to stay for as much of the day as you would like.

Here are some of Charlie Zahm’s greatest fans all gathered to hear him play at his closing concert on Saturday evening. They were certainly not disappointed, and Charlie gave a stellar performance to conclude the 2016 Men’s Advance. Charlie performed several Scottish and American ballads, a couple of sing-alongs, and even a few sea-chanties. But my favorites, by far, were some of his old standards, his rendition of “Shenandoah” and a rousing “The Blacksmith of Brandywine.” I believe we had upwards of...

Conference registration is now open—online and by mail! Our 10th annual Men’s Advance is rapidly approaching–scheduled for Friday and Saturday (April 15-16, 2016).

Consider the thesis put forward by the well-regarded Reformation scholar, Dr. Timothy George; he...

Easter Sunday comes up very early this year (on Sunday, March 27). In my own personal preparation for this important day I like to reflect upon the person and work of Jesus Christ. Here is fine quote on these subjects from the late Prof. John Murray who taught Systematic Theology for many years at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. “Our sins have separated us from God and we can know the dismal emptiness of being without God and without hope in the world…But there was only one, and there will not need to be another, who...
