Congregational singing and praying are central
- Lakewood believes in congregational worship. This means that songs and music (along with musicians) should be chosen with this in mind.
- We will select songs that are not only rich in content, but simple in form.
- We seek to worship God reverently and joyfully, not flippantly.
- We seek to remember and cherish Christ and the Gospel through song.
- We meet every Sunday at 9:30 for congregational prayer. Jesus in Matthew 21:13 that His house would be called a house of prayer.
- Congregational prayer uses the pronouns “we”, “our”, and “us”. It is a way of praying not only for but with your brothers and sisters.
- During this time we seek to get all our hearts right, pray for the glory of Christ to be seen and savored, pray for The Church, the lost, the nations.
