Worship & Arts

Every Sunday morning, members and visitors of Holmeswood Baptist Church gather to worship together. While the membership of Holmeswood represents many faith backgrounds, it is in this time of community worship that we experience common goals – to praise in song and word, thought and action, our God and Creator; to bear witness to the life-changing salvation a relationship with Jesus Christ offers; and to experience the guidance and movement of the Holy Spirit.

Sunday mornings at Holmeswood are vibrant and meaningful. We employ a blended style of worship using traditional elements like choirs, handbells and hymns accompanied by our organ, along with more contemporary practices such as choruses led by a praise team utilizing drums and guitar. Any given Sunday brings an eclectic mix of praise.

We gather for worship first and then interact with each other in Bible Fellowship Groups following worship. This gives BFG groups an opportunity to extend class, or to go directly from class to lunch or other activities. This schedule also means that more of the Sabbath is yours to determine. The possibilities are endless!

Worship: 9:00 am        BFG Groups: 10:15 am

There are a multitude of opportunities available for those who wish to participate in the music ministry:
