What To Expect
Variety. That's what find when you visit one of our services. But one thing you should expect is a personal, uplifting worship experience. Our services are geared for participation. We typically worship as we live, with enthusiasm.
Challenging
Messages
The preaching of God's Word, the Bible, is a focal point, and is usually
accompanied by an invitation for hearers to respond. The messages are fervent,
inspiring and practical.
Child
Care
A nursery is provided for infants and toddlers. This loving, comfortable atmosphere helps show children at the earliest ages that church is a good place to be. Childcare also frees parents for worship.
Children's
Worship
Bible-oriented activities are often provided for
preschool and elementary-age children. At this level, young children are taught to sing, pray, memorize Scripture and learn important Bible truths. They are instructed and led in worship at their own levels.
Alpha
It offers the opportunity to explore the meaning of life.
Questions, questions, questions... What is the point of life?... What
happens when we die?... What relevance does Jesus have for our lives
today?... How do we deal with guilt?... we all have questions. To find out
why so many have found Alpha to be the best opportunity they have ever had
to ask these questions
"Alpha is a safe place to thrash out the meaning of life; to discuss what
Christianity really is all about. I'd highly recommend this course for
anyone who wants good food and good conversation."
Melanie Clark Pullen,
Actress
The Alpha Course is a fifteen session program which
runs over ten weeks to provide a practical
introduction to the Christian faith.
Ministry to the
sick
As in the New Testament, specific prayer may be offered for the sick. There will be invitation during the congregational prayer and also times for altar ministry with other believers joining them for a time of prayer.
Music
Music is a major feature of our worship, before, during and even after the service itself. Instruments may range from piano, organ to synthesizers, guitars, drums and various other instruments.
Whatever the accompaniment, inspired singing is the order of the day. Any given service may include traditional hymns, hand-clapping gospel songs, contemporary compositions or reverent worshipful choruses.
Music includes both congregational and special ministries-solos, duets, ensembles, choirs, and instrumentals. Our church tries to make music more than a performance, it's the music of worship.
Prayer
A special time in the service is devoted to prayer. Needs from inside and outside the church family frequently are made known.
The congregation prayers together. All may pray aloud but conclude with a single voice, the worship leader or other designated person praying in behalf of all.

Worship Experience--
The service may include quiet times of waiting in God's presence, spiritually savoring
the sacred atmosphere as worshippers are invited to spontaneously express love and adoration to God.
In everything, a flow of worship is evident, coupled with spontaneity and
excitement.
Sincere worshippers will feel right at home
during our times of worship.
If you have wondered what a service would be like at North Shore Assembly of God, we invite you to observe and experience God's joy and peace that defy description. Expect a move of God not only in the service but also in your life.
