What to Expect

Visiting a new church can be intimidating. When you visit Dexter Pentecostal Church, you will never be asked to stand up, introduce yourself, or do any other activity that makes you feel uncomfortable. We’d just love to have you visit and study with us. We want you to feel comfortable when you visit us for worship services, so here is a brief summary of what you can expect from a typical service at Dexter Pentecostal Church:

​

Meeting Times:

  - Every Sunday -

Sunday School for All Ages - 10am

Morning Worship - 11am

​

When you visit one of our Sunday services, you can expect to find a simple worship service that adheres to the teachings of both the New & Old Testament. When we assemble on every Lord’s Day (Acts 20:7, Revelation 1:10), which is Sunday, we will worship God by . . .

• Praying:  We are led by different men in our congregation (1 Timothy 2:1-8).

• Singing:  The whole congregation joins together in praising God in song without excess use of musical instruments (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16). In case anyone is unfamiliar with one of the songs, the words are available in our songbooks and also on a screen in front of the sanctuary. Many of our visitors choose to join us in singing, while others prefer simply to listen as we worship.

• Taking Communion:  The first Sunday of every month, our members remember Christ’s death by eating unleavened bread and drinking fruit of the vine (Acts 20:7).

• Preaching:  We will enjoy a Bible lesson that lasts about 30 minutes (Acts 2:42; Romans 10:14). On most Sundays, Elijah Balentine, our head Pastor, presents these lessons, though occasionally a guest speaker will guide our thoughts. Each lesson will take a Bible passage and explain what it means and how it applies to our lives.

• Giving: Each member of our congregation typically contributes weekly to the work of the church (1 Corinthians 16:2). We do not ask or expect our visitors to give anything in the offering.

​

In all of our Sunday School classes, you can expect to open the Bible so we can all study and grow in our faith. During these times we also encourage one another (Hebrews 10:24-25) and help one other maintain that Christian light (Matthew 5:16) to shine for others during our work week.

​

Word of God:

You can expect us to have a wholesome respect for the inspired Word of God, the sole and complete authority.  Because Dexter Pentecostal Church accepts the Word of God as the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, we reject all human creeds (Galatians 1:8-9; Revelation 22:18-19).
