Worship at Pullen
Worship at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church
Worship is central to our community, reflecting our values of justice, kindness, and humility. We offer an unrestricted welcome to all, embracing diversity in faith and evolving in our spiritual journey.
Our worship blends Christian roots and Baptist heritage while fostering interfaith connections. We honor questions and doubts as part of faith and engage with biblical themes in ways relevant to the modern world. Worship includes spoken word, silence, music, poetry, dance, and visual expressions, inviting full participation of body, mind, and spirit.
We use inclusive and gender-expansive language in worship, recognizing its power to uplift and heal. Leadership is shared among clergy and laypersons, with diverse voices guiding prayers, scripture, and reflections.
Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month, welcoming all—regardless of belief—to the Table of Love. Baptism occurs on Easter morning through immersion, though all baptism traditions are affirmed. It is a personal expression of faith but is not required for church membership.
At Pullen, worship is a journey—a place to question, grow, and experience the sacred together.
What happens in a typical service? We gather, sing, pray, read from Holy Scripture, hear an uplifting message, and go forth to change the world.
What is music like? Choral, inclusive, and uplifting.
What do I wear? Anything you want; be your authentic self. You will see everything from jeans to neckties.
What about kids? We love having kids in worship. We also have dedicated resources for kids during worship. Click here to read our brochure for what to expect.
Will I be singled out as a visitor? During worship, we won’t single you out. If you would like to connect with a minister after the service, we have a receiving line. You can also fill out our connect card to receive a call from one of our ministers. Our members love to see new faces and will probably greet you.
