Worship at Elvester Baptist Church is joyful, conservative, interactive, and Bible-centered. You will be greeted with a smile and a handshake by believers from a variety of walks of life. Elvester is a family of redeemed sinners that cherish fellowship around our mutual faith. The music at Elvester is traditional, but lively. Congregational singing is at the center of music service and we sing old-fashioned hymns right from the hymnal. We commonly have special music by church members singing Christ -honoring songs with live instruments. Because of congregational singing everyone gets to participate (we are not much for "performing"). It is not uncommon for us to have "meet and greet" to mill around and greet one another. At times we have personal testimonies from those in attendance. And during the preaching, you will commonly hear shouts of "Amen" as the saints bear witness to the truth as it is preached. The preaching and teaching of the word of God is at the heart of virtually every worship service. Either our pastor or some other preacher is going to open the Bible and deliver a Bible-based message to challenge and encourage us to live for the Lord Jesus Christ.
