      What to Expect

Little Log Church(LLC)  is a community of believers that gather together to praise and worship God as part of the body of Christ (Ep 1:22-23).  Our church is a place for focusing on relationship with God and each other (Heb 10:24-25). It is also a place of preparation to serve. We gather to be equipped, not hide in our building. It is our mandate from Christ to go out to a world that needs the light that we reflect (Mark 16:15-16).

Each worship service begins with, “It’s good to be in the Lord’s house, on the Lords day, with the Lord’s people. Why? Because it is all about the Lord.” We gather together as sinners who need a savior, and have been called by the savior to eternal relationship with Him. Our God has purchased relationship with Him through His personal sacrifice, paying a debt that we could never have paid. He took our punishment upon himself and clothes us in His righteousness, not for anything we have done, but for everything He has done (Ep 2:8-9).

There is a stone wall in our sanctuary. The rocks that make it up are rough and imperfect. There is nothing beautiful about the individual stones, but together they make a structure that holds up the bell we ring every Sunday. This is a wonderful picture of the members of our church. We are a group of sinners made up of a variety of backgrounds. Each bears the scars of experience, and these scars fit together with the mortar of Christ’s love to build a solid structure. God revealed himself to each of us while we were still sinners (Rom 5:8-10). We strive to be real with each other, because this is how God sees us. This is an advantage of a small church. It is hard to hide from friends who are personally invested in you, and need you to be invested in them. 

As Christians, we are called to be a Kingdom of Priests (Rev 1:6). Serving in this role requires preparation and practice to answer God’s call as he provides divine appointments. We are called to actively practice our faith in full view of the world. LLC desires to equip our congregation to share the reason for the hope we have with others with gentleness and respect (1 Pet 3:13-15). 

LLC is a family-integrated church. We believe families should worship together. Children worship with their families and learn what it means to be an adult and serve in a church community. It is our goal to support families in training up their children, not to supplant their mandate for leadership.

LLC preaching is expositional. Each Sunday, Pastor Story teaches verse by verse through a book in the Bible from a reformed perspective. Each verse is carefully unpacked so that the congregation explores the full and complete message without shying away from difficult or socially inconvenient passages (2 Tim 3:16-17). We typically read from the English Standard Version, but our members use a variety of translations. Every few weeks, the church service will be structured as an interactive discussion to address questions, discuss key points, and again provide opportunities for our congregants to publicly express and test their views in the light of scriptural truth.

Our bible studies are inductive and highly interactive. Study leaders foster the discussion, not provide monologs. We promote questions, and provide the opportunity for all to offer answers. We learn how to study the scriptures, examine multiple perspectives, and learn together as iron sharpens iron (Prov 27:17).

We stream our church services each week, but the real blessing of our church is provided through the opportunity for fellowship, fostering an opportunity to share trials and triumphs, and discuss what God is teaching us. We hope you will join us.
