EnglishWhat Is the Lord's Day Schedule at Faith Presbyterian Church?
Updated
Faith Presbyterian Church (faith-opc.org) holds four Lord's Day gatherings on Sunday: a prayer meeting from 9:00–9:30am for all ages, morning worship from 9:45–11:00am (currently working through Ephesians), a Christian education hour from 11:10–11:55am with catechism classes for children, and evening worship from 5:30–6:45pm (currently in Leviticus). All are described on the site as open to everyone—"All Are Welcome"—so a first-time visitor can attend any part of the day without arranging anything in advance.
The Full Sunday Schedule at a Glance
| Time | Gathering | Notes from the church |
|---|---|---|
| 9:00–9:30am | Prayer Meeting | For all ages |
| 9:45–11:00am | Morning Worship | Current series: Ephesians |
| 11:10–11:55am | Christian Education Hour | Catechism classes for children |
| 5:30–6:45pm | Evening Worship | Current series: Leviticus |
The gaps are short—15 minutes between prayer meeting and morning worship, 10 minutes between worship and education, and a long afternoon break before the evening service—so the morning block runs continuously from 9:00am to just before noon.
How to Plan Your Visit
If you want the fullest picture of a Sunday
Attend the whole morning: prayer meeting, morning worship, and the education hour. This is the sequence the church itself lists, and it gives you both the worship services and the teaching hour in one visit. If you only have time for one gathering, morning worship at 9:45am is the main service of the day.
If you are visiting with children
The education hour at 11:10am includes catechism classes for children, and the prayer meeting is explicitly labeled "for all ages," so children are expected throughout the morning rather than only in a separate program. The site does not describe nursery or childcare arrangements, so if that matters for your family, it is worth asking before you go.
If you can only come in the evening
Evening worship runs 5:30–6:45pm and follows its own preaching series (currently Leviticus), separate from the morning series in Ephesians. Attending both services means hearing two different passages preached the same day.
What to Expect in the Services
The site identifies the church as part of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and lists its confessional standards: the Westminster Standards and the Book of Church Order. In practice, that means the worship and teaching you encounter will be shaped by that tradition—historic Reformed confessions, expository preaching through books of the Bible (as the current Ephesians and Leviticus series suggest), and catechetical instruction for children.
The homepage also quotes 2 Corinthians 3:17–18 on the Spirit and freedom in transformation into the Lord's image, which reflects the tone the church sets for its worship. For a fuller account of the congregation's beliefs, the church's "What We Confess" section and its pages on who they are, the pastor, and officers are the places to look.
Practical Details for the Day
- Location: 9177 Roberts Road, Silver Point, TN 38582. The site's "Find us here" section is the reference point for directions.
- Contact: The site lists a "Contact Info" page for reaching the church directly—useful for questions the schedule doesn't answer, such as childcare, accessibility, or what a first-time visitor should know.
- Between services: With morning activities ending at 11:55am and evening worship starting at 5:30pm, there is a five-and-a-half-hour gap. Plan lunch and the afternoon accordingly if you intend to stay for both.
- No registration mentioned: Nothing on the site indicates sign-ups or advance notice for attending any of the four gatherings.
Common Questions
Do I have to attend all four gatherings? No. Each is listed separately, and the church welcomes visitors to any of them. Many attendees likely come to the morning block, the evening service, or both.
Is the prayer meeting only for members? The site describes it as "for all ages" without restricting it to members, so visitors can reasonably join.
What if I arrive mid-service? The schedule is tight, with 10–15 minute transitions. Arriving a few minutes before 9:45am for morning worship avoids walking in after the service has begun.
Where can I learn more before visiting? Start with the "Who We Are," "Our Pastor," and "What We Confess" pages on faith-opc.org, then use the contact information for anything specific to your situation.
