What to Expect
What time is in-person Sunday worship?
Worship service takes place @10am each Sunday. You can join us in-person or online live.
How do I worship online?
You can watch on our Media page here on the Website, or Facebook, or YouTube. You can also watch past services as they are achived by
sermon series.
Are there small groups?
Small groups are where the greatest growth in our relationship with God through Jesus Christ happens. There are both short term and long term small groups for all ages. Most take place on Sunday mornings @9am or 11:15am. Please contact our church office to learn more about our individual group offerings.
May I bring my children to worship?
Of course! This is not a church where a child needs to sit still and in silence at all times. We love for children to be active participants in worship and are quite adept at integrating them into the life of the church. There is an area within the sanctuary for our youngest attendees to be rocked in a glider. We also have a lively children’s message towards the beginning of the worship service. This is followed by a disciple-forming children’s church for age 3 through 5th grade. Many of our children go on to be leaders within our church and beyond.
Do I need to dress up?
Wear what makes you feel most comfortable and worshipful. You’ll see attendees in blue jeans, people in dresses and/or suits, and everything
in between.
I’ve made some bad decisions in my life. Am I still welcome?
We do not expect perfection of ourselves or others. We gather together to learn more about the One who IS perfect, Jesus, and to draw closer to God through the power of His sacrifice on the cross for us. Whoever you are and whatever you have done or left undone, you are welcome!
Where should I park and where do I enter the building?
There is adequate parking surrounding our facilities. Small groups predominantly takes place on the lower level. Feel free to enter through one of the three front doors on the upper level for any ministry unless otherwise directed until you have your bearings.
