Visiting

It’s our habit to gather together around 10:30 am each Lord’s Day for worship at our building on 1628 Dry Gap Pike in Powell, TN.

Following worship at about 12:30 pm, we gather twice a month for a fellowship meal together. More than just a potluck, this time is built on a conviction that real discipleship and “iron sharpening” happens through relationships. It is a vital time for us, and really one of the best ways to get to know us. Typically we will fellowship for quite a while about what we’ve heard together in God’s Word.

What to expect on the Lord’s day

A typical Sunday service format at Basswood Church might look something like this:

• We sing traditional hymns and contemporary choruses. Theology drives our music.
• Prayers will be offered.
• Scripture will be read.
• We will greet one another with joy.
• We will worship through giving tithes and offerings.
• Scripture is taught verse by verse by an elder.

One important difference you will find in the Sunday morning experience comes from our convictions to keep families together during the service. This can be quite different for many visitors.

While we are welcoming and encourage togetherness, we wouldn’t want to be misunderstood as child-centered. We do encourage all families to train even their littlest ones to learn to sit quietly, and in that way be a blessing to the entire body.

Together on purpose

A key phrase to keep in mind is that “age-integration means active parenting.” Because of our commitment to have our children be a part of all that we do, we also share a conviction that parents are never “off-duty” but instead are constantly shepherding their children’s hearts either with intentionality, or by abdication. None of us are perfect parents, nor do any of us have perfect children. But, we are all striving by grace to be a conduit of God’s goodness to our children.
