Lord's Day Worship (Sanctuary and Livestream)
SPC's Lord’s Day services embody a classic reformed worship tradition. The Word is proclaimed through liturgy, song, and preaching. Scriptures are generally read by lay liturgists. Music leadership is anchored by our choir. Our pastors share leadership and preaching responsibilities from week to week. Communion is offered on the 1st Sunday of each month.
Services are livestreamed via YouTube beginning at 10:15 a.m. Sunday morning.
