*Affirmation of Faith The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church*, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. *When we say holy catholic church, we aren’t referring to the Roman Catholic Church, but instead to the true Christian church that exists all over the world in every tongue, tribe, and nation.
*Hymn of Faith “All To Us”
(Ushers come forward on last verse)

Let the glory of Your name be the passion of the Church Let the righteousness of God be a holy flame that burns Let the saving love of Christ be the measure of our lives We believe You're all to us
Only Son of God sent from Heaven Hope and mercy at the cross You are everything, You're the Promise Jesus You are all to us
Let the glory of Your name be the passion of the Church Let the righteousness of God be a holy flame that burns Let the saving love of Christ be the measure of our lives We believe You're all to us (2X)

Prayer of Dedication & Presentation of Our Tithes & Offerings
Offertory
“Christ Is Risen” Let no one caught in sin remain Inside the lie of inward shame But fix our eyes upon the cross And run to Him who showed great love And bled for us—Freely bled for us
Christ is risen from the dead, Trampling over death by death Come awake, come awake, Come and rise up from the grave Christ is risen from the dead; We are one with Him again Come awake, come awake, Come and rise up from the grave
Beneath the weight of all our sin You bowed to none but heaven’s will No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown, No burden great can hold You down In strength You reign Forever let Your church proclaim
Christ is risen from the dead, Trampling over death by death Come awake, come awake, Come and rise up from the grave Christ is risen from the dead; We are one with Him again Come awake, come awake, Come and rise up from the grave
O death where is your sting; O hell, where is your victory O church, come stand in the light; The glory of God has defeated the night
Singing—O death where is your sting; O hell, where is your victory O church, come stand in the light; Our God is not dead; He’s alive, He’s alive!
Christ is risen from the dead, Trampling over death by death Come awake, come awake, Come and rise up from the grave Christ is risen from the dead; We are one with Him again Come awake, come awake, Come and rise up from the grave (2X)

Why do we worship the way we do at Carolina?
That's a great question! Each church is different in it's style, song selection, and order of service. At Carolina Presbyterian Church, our goal is to do everything in worship in a manner that glorifies God and edifies our congregation. Below is our worship philosophy which attempts to capture these key values. As always, please come and talk with any church leader if you have questions about this. We are thrilled to join with you in the worship of our Lord together!
Carolina PCA Philosophy of Worship:
At Carolina Presbyterian Church, we desire to worship God in a manner that is both glorifying to God and edifying to our congregation.
To glorify God, we seek to worship him with excellence, with an attitude of reverence (considering God’s holiness) and celebration (considering God’s grace), with a Christ-centered focus rooted in reformed theology and founded on the word of God.
To edify our congregation, we seek to worship God with some stylistic variation that reflects some of the preferences of our multi-generational church and community. We seek to employ these different styles in a way that promotes love and unity within the same worship service.
