Lord's Day
Worship & Preaching
A simple liturgy each Sunday morning: psalms and hymns, public prayer, and expository preaching from the Scriptures.
Our Vision
Planting a Reformed church for
the families, students, and neighbors of Camillus.
There is no immediately local, Reformed congregation within Camillus and western Syracuse. A few of us believe that should change, and we are looking for the others who feel the same. We strongly believe in the local church, hence the name. Believers should make every effort to join a congregation close to their home that best serves the Word to them and their families.
Our Approach
Ordinary means, held carefully: the Word preached, the sacraments administered, and prayer among a congregation that knows one another by name. Nothing invented, nothing borrowed from the moment.
Scripture x Confession
Rooted in the Word
The Scriptures are the inspired and sufficient Word of God. We will preach the Word faithfully, sometimes moving through whole books, and also as it relates to the challenges the church is presented with in the world. Sunday will send you home with exposition of the text, not opinions.
Shaped by the Confessions
The Westminster and the 1689 Baptist Confessions give us language older and steadier than our own. They are not a wall around the church but a doorway into what Christians have long believed together. Our future Elders will consist of men who subscribe to either of these confessions.
