In 2024, River City Reformed began having evening worship services in addition to morning services. A question may arise: why both morning and evening worship services?
We believe that Sunday is the Lord’s Day, and that we are to “call the Sabbath a delight and the holy day of the LORD honorable” (Isaiah 58:13). The Lord’s Day is a gift from God, and it is designed to be a blessing to us as we set aside the day to devote to the worship of God and to rest. It is an historic practice of the church to bookend the Lord’s Day with morning and evening worship services as this helps us to keep the day holy. We also see biblical precedent for the church gathering together morning and evening for worship (Psalm 92:1-2; Acts 20:7). Though it is not wrong to not have evening worship services, it is certainly a great help to the people of God in setting the day apart for its proper purposes to have both morning and evening services.
Another reason we hold morning and evening services is because we are a church committed to the ordinary means of grace. The ordinary means of grace (the Word, prayer and the sacraments) are central to the ministry at River City Reformed Church. As we gather together twice on the Lord’s Day, we get to hear the Word preached twice. If we are meeting most Sundays in the year for evening as well as morning services with only a few exceptions, that’s around 100 times we hear God’s Word preached instead of 52 times. This also means there are more prayers that we offer to the Lord, and as we take the Lord’s Supper one Sunday night a month, that’s twice as many times during the month that we get to take the Supper. If the Lord uses His Word to change people, and if the Lord is pleased to hear His people pray, and if the Lord is pleased to use the sacraments in the life of His people, then it is good for us to have more opportunities to be under the ordinary means of grace.
Please join us for morning worship at 9 AM and evening worship at 5:45 PM.

The men of River City Reformed are studying the Westminster Confession of Faith on Thursday nights at 8 PM.
The Westminster Confession is a detailed summary of the main teachings of the Bible. In reading it together, we are driven also to dive more into the Scriptures themselves. We hope that the Lord will use this study to cultivate a greater love for the truth. This is the Confession to which officers in our denomination are expected to subscribe, but it will be a beneficial study even if you do not believe you are called to church office, as it will encourage a deeper knowledge of the Bible. We hope you can join us for this ongoing study at River City Reformed.
