As part of the Protestant faith tradition, Veritas Bible Church is part of a 500+ year history of celebrating the Reformation led by figures such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, and others. During this time we recognize the significance of what it meant for the church in those days to get back to the purity of the gospel, the sufficiency of scripture, and a reforming of christian worship. In accordance with that idea, Reformation Night is an opportunity for the elders of VBC to share convictions and reasoning behind things that either are in the process of change or need to be reformed in the worship and life of the church to better reflect a faithfulness to God’s Holy word. This will hopefully become a regular annual endeavor where we challenge each other to not take aspects of worship and christian living for granted but examine our doctrine and practice to be in line with the Scriptures (1 Tim. 4:16).
For our first night, we will be examining the ideas of Confessionalism and Congregational Singing. What are these practices exactly and why should we pursue them as a church body? The elders will share specific and detailed reasoning behind these practices and their convictions as well as provide a thorough Q&A time for deeper dialogue.
