Worship at the First Presbyterian Church of Martinsville is firmly grounded in Reformed theology and practice.  The Word of God is central to our worship and the sermons are centered on God's holy Word for our daily lives.  Our worship is participatory by nature; the congregation is actively involved throughout the worship experience by singing the hymns, the Doxology, and other responses; by praying together the Prayer of Confession; and by affirming together the Affirmation of Faith following the sermon.  Church members also participate by reading one of the Scripture lessons, giving a Minute for Mission, ushering, greeting, and collecting offering.  A special Sunday delight is witnessing children of the church participate in A Word for Children.
