Worship Services

Sunday Worship

We celebrate God’s love and explore our diverse stories and experiences through the gifts of clergy, laypeople, and world-class and amateur artists. 

Our Sunday worship services share the same sermon and themes, with communion on the first Sunday of each month.

 

Worship at 11h 

Offers prayerfully-crafted liturgy, responsive prayers and readings, congregational hymns, and a wide range of music from our Beckerath organ, solo and ensemble offerings, with the leadership of our adult, children’s, and bell choirs. 

 

Worship at 14h

Welcomes people into a casual atmosphere of prayerful spontaneity. Our band (guitars, piano, voices, strings, percussion) accompanies the congregation in new compositions as well as arrangements of well-loved songs from many genres. 

 

Worship Online

Worship is live-streamed at 11h on Sundays on our YouTube and Facebook channels. Previously broadcast services are available on these same channels. 

 

Children's Worship and Nursery/Toddler care 

is offered at both Sunday services. For safety reasons, all children must be signed up in our system to be a member of Children’s Worship and to be kept informed of activities. Please sign up at acparis.org/cw-registration and also register your child's attendance in advance each Sunday at acparis.org/signups.

 

Coffee fellowship follows both Sunday services.
