Everyone has a liturgy. Liturgy is simply the way churches structure their worship. At CTK, we structure our service with elements that have biblical warrant and historical precedence, not with elements of innovation or novelty. And so, our liturgy on Sunday is our effort to worship with Bible in hand and tradition in mind. We’re seeking to exalt our Triune God joyfully and reverently through time-tested, biblically grounded beauty (Ps. 29:2).

At CTK, we believe, along with a great portion of Church history, that all who are baptized in the Triune Name are welcome to the Lord’s Table. If they can be fed at our tables in our homes, how much more, once they’re baptized, should they be fed and nourished at His.

We use it because Jesus did, and so did His people—for centuries. Wine complements the kind of meal we’re partaking in and the sort of meal Jesus instituted. It was and is a meal of celebration, a meal of victory. And so, we celebrate at the King’s Table with what the King has given to gladden the heart of man (Ps. 104:14-15).

We raise our hands because the apostle Paul said to pray in this manner (1 Tim. 2:8) and the psalmist agrees that this is just how God’s people should do things in the sanctuary (Ps. 134:2).

Your children are most gladly welcome to our gathering with their rustlings, whimpers and all. We do not offer an alternative program for them because we think that there is no better place for them to be than in the worship of God with God’s people. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me” (Lk. 18:16). And so, we say with Him Sunday after Sunday, come. Let all the little chidren come!
