Frequently Asked Questions About My First Visit.

 

What time should I arrive?

We start worship at 10:00 am. Service is a blended style of traditional and contemporary. Our worship usually lasts about an hour.

 

Am I going to be conspicuous?

You won't be conspicuous, but you will probably be noticed and greeted. WE WILL CERTAINLY NOT ASK YOU TO STAND, RAISE YOUR HAND OR INTRODUCE YOURSELF! We recognize that there is a fine line between not wanting to be embarrassed and not wanting to feel like nobody cares that you are here. We are happy you've joined us, but we won't make you feel like a sore thumb.

 

How do I behave in worship?

We have a user-friendly type service with a casual and relaxed approach. On the first Sunday of the month, we have our Communion service. Everyone is welcome to come forward for Communion in our church. We feel every person should be able to share in this very special meal and be actively reminded of how much God loves us.

 

Will I be expected to give money?

We currently take an offering during the service, but please do not feel obligated to give. As a visitor, we would like your experience with us to be our gift to you. Many people will not be putting anything in the offering plate as many give online or monthly, so you won't draw attention if you just let it pass by.

 

How should I dress?

Our dress is casual (if that is what you are comfortable in) or more dressy if you like to go to church in your Sunday best. You’ll see everything from jeans and t-shirts to suits and dresses.

 

Are our children welcome?

Yes, children are welcome during the service! We have children's busy bags in the back Cry Room for children to keep busy during the service. There is also a children's time during the service where they can go to the front for a special message just for them and most Sundays a small treat. The Cry Room's in the rear of the sanctuary have big windows and speakers, so you won't miss any of the service if your little one needs some extra space to move around.

 

 

Can I just call and ask my question in person?

Please do! We truly love hearing from you. Whether it's regarding worship times, special events, or theology, we will try to answer all your questions. Please call the church office at 309-792-1661.
