10 a.m. – Our morning worship is a traditional church service that includes scripture and a sermon, a choir, and hymns accompanied by the pipe organ. If you grew up in a church then this is the kind of worship you remember. If you did not grow up in a church you will still find the service comfortable and accessible. Though traditional, there is no expectation that people must wear certain clothes or know every word of the liturgy. Instead, we recognize that each person worships best when they are comfortable, when they are surrounded by friendly people, and when the environment is focused on God. We believe our 10 a.m. service presents this style of worship.

6 p.m. – If we identify our morning worship as a traditional service, than we must identify our evening worship as non-traditional. While the scripture and the sermon are the same, our songs are led by the Evensong band that includes guitars, bass and electric keyboard. Our structure is casual in both dress and worship style. However you will recognize the common elements in worship from prayers to the offering. In addition, we celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper at each 6 p.m. service. Following worship we gather in the church parlor for light refreshments and plenty of conversation. If the Colts are playing then we will gather around the T.V. in the Welcoming Center and watch the action.

At Irvington Presbyterian Church we celebrate two sacraments: Holy Communion and Baptism.

Holy Communion, also called the Lord’s Supper, is a sign and seal of eating and drinking in communion with the crucified and risen Lord. All people who trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are welcomed to participate in this sacrament. Holy Communion is celebrated about eight times a year in our 10 a.m. worship, including Easter and Christmas Eve. We celebrate the sacrament every Sunday in our 6 p.m. service.

Baptism is the sign and seal of incorporation into Christ. It is our recognition that God welcomes us unconditionally into God’s kingdom. We practice both infant and adult baptism. While we do not use full immersion in our baptisms, we do use an abundance of water from our baptismal font to symbolize the Jesus’ own baptism and the washing of our sins. Requests for baptism cause this sacrament to be celebrated at various times throughout each year.
