what to expect
Our Sunday morning service is just over an hour in length. We begin with our band leading the church in music. Lyrics are projected onto the screen so you can sing along and/or engage with worship, however you feel comfortable. An offering is collected, which gives members of Dover an opportunity to give back a portion of what God has given us. Visitors should not feel compelled to participate. Each week we observe communion, which is a time for followers of Christ to remember the sacrifice Jesus made for our sins. A message is also presented by our pastor, which helps us understand the Bible and how it applies to our lives. Time for scripture reading, prayer, and reflection is a part of every service.
Dress is whatever is comfortable for you. Some of us wear jeans or shorts, while others dress up a little more. You are welcome just as you are.
You'll find labeled guest parking just to the left of our main entrance alongside the building.
kids & youth
We love kids! We want your kids to have a great experience each time they visit with engaging activities and a safe atmosphere. We complete background checks on all volunteers and train them to provide the best care for your children. Elevate is our children’s program and it runs for the duration of our service in the fellowship hall. This program provides a safe, fun, and engaging environment created with your kids in mind, and runs for children ages 2 years old through 6th grade. We also have a nursery for infants and toddlers. Your kids are always welcome to join you in service. Our youth in grades 6-12 meet on Sunday evenings.

what we believe
• We believe in one God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all things.
• We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son and Savior of the world. He died for our sins and rose from the dead.
• We believe the Holy Spirit dwells within every Christian. He convicts people to belief and then equips believers for personal growth and service in the church.
• We believe the original Scriptures are the inspired Word of God and those original writings were consequently without error. As such the Bible is the final authority for all matters of faith, truth, morality, and Christian living.
• We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned, and as a result is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.
• We believe that salvation (the forgiveness of sins) comes by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ and his death on the cross. This free gift of salvation is offered to all who receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
• We believe the Bible teaches the pattern to follow to receive Jesus as Savior: believe in Jesus Christ as God's Son and Savior of the world, repent of personal sin, confess Jesus as Lord, and be immersed in baptism.
• We believe the Bible teaches that every Christian should be an active member of a local church.
• We believe the Bible instructs church members to: a. Meet together regularly for fellowship, worship, teaching, and the Lord’s Supper b. Use their natural abilities and spiritual gifts to serve one another c. Bear one another’s burdens and pray for one another d. Spur one another on to love and good deeds e. Support the church financially f. Pursue personal holiness and obedience to God’s Word g. Strive together to fulfill the Great Commission
• We believe that the Elders of the church are the overseers of its affairs and the shepherds of its members; that they are the final interpretive authority of the Bible’s meaning and application for the church; and that they are responsible for the oversight, instruction, edification, discipline, and restoration of church members.
• We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one biological man and one biological woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
• We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death.
• We believe death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will spend eternity with God in heaven, and the unsaved will experience eternal separation from God in hell.
• We believe Jesus will one day return and reign forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
