Service & Class

Info

Sunday School - 9:00am

We offer age-graded classes from nursery to preschool through college as well as many options for adults. We have 2 ongoing senior classes, 2-3 adult electives, and 1 women’s class. The electives and women’s class rotate topics about once a quarter, or every 13 weeks, ranging from theology, to a book of the Bible, to practical Christian living. The visitor’s desk will provide you with a list of available adult class topics with a short description of each topic and they can assist you in finding the right class for you or your children.

Sunday Service - 10:15am

On Sunday mornings, we usually have between 250-300 people in attendance. We strive to be warm and welcoming no matter who comes and only want to extend the grace that God has shown to us in the gospel, so there’s no need to fret about what to wear. We provide childcare for children 3 years old and younger and someone at the welcome desk can direct you. Children 3 years and older join their parents in the worship service.

When you visit, you will find Boulevard to be a friendly environment of men and women who love the Lord and love people. We love and welcome visitors and will encourage you in your discovery and walk with God. Please feel free to introduce yourself to others, ask questions and let us know if you need more information about our church! We’d be happy to share with you.

Sunday Evening - 6:00pm

Our evening service has a more casual structure. This service generally is 45 to 60 minutes and includes praying, singing, occasional testimonies and prayer circles, and hearing the preached Word. Oftentimes, this service is followed by folks just sticking around and visiting with and catching up with one another. We invite you to do the same; get to know us and let us get to know you!

Wednesday Evening - 6:30pm

Our Wednesday gathers are likewise more casual. We have an adult class that meets for Bible study, youth group, children’s classes, and choir rehearsal. Feel free to join us in a more intimate setting as we study God’s Word together.

All in all, we want all things to be done for the glory of God. We strive for our services to be founded on Scripture alone, Christ-centered, and formed by the Gospel. As we understand worship, it is not a performance to be done by professionals and observed by an audience. Rather, we are called to engage all of ourselves—heart, mind and body in every component of the service from the opening Call to Worship to the closing prayer.

  • At Boulevard, we strive for balance and blend with regards to style and song selection, as style preference should be regarded with far less significance than the theological depth and clarity of the lyrics and the sing-ability of the melody.We love and appreciate songs of all ages, anything from ancient chant/folk songs, Martin Luther, Isaac Watts, Charles Wesley, Fanny Crosby, “Sovereign Grace,” and the Gettys, to name a few. Congregational singing is a wonderful gift from the Lord, and we try to value both the aspect of singing and its congregational nature with the highest esteem.Boulevard’s worship team compromises a beautiful hybrid of both orchestral and praise band instrumentation. We also have a worship choir that helps lead the congregational singing, as well as performs choral specials from time to time.

  • The predominant mode of preaching at Boulevard is expositional. This means we typically go through a book of the Bible, verse by verse, to expound on what that particular text is speaking about. Morning sermons are generally 35 to 40 minutes in length and evening sermons are generally 20 to 30 minutes in length, though length is not a point of emphasis for us. All of our sermons, while staying true to the text covered, speak to the God redemptive plan in human history through the person and work of Jesus Christ in His gospel.

  • After the sermon, we typically join together in congregational singing while offering everyone a chance to respond to the Word of God. During this time, we encourage you to reflect upon and respond to the read, sung, and preached Word and how it applies to your life. We want to allow freedom for the conscience of the individual under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. There are a number of ways this may look. You may choose to stand and sing, or remain seated and pray. You may need to seek someone out for special prayer, or if you have questions about salvation and faith in Christ we encourage you to speak with one of our elders.
