What to Expect
We know visiting a new church can feel uncertain. Here's everything you need to know to feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment you arrive.
When You Arrive
From parking to finding a seat, here's what your first visit will look like
Parking
Guest parking spaces are available near the main entrance. Pull right in and you'll be close to the door.
Friendly Greeters
Upon arrival, greeters will welcome you and members will introduce themselves. We'll give you a guest card so we can get to know you better.
No Assigned Seats
Feel free to sit anywhere in the auditorium. There are no assigned seats, so find a spot that's comfortable for you.
The Worship Experience
Our Sunday gathering includes three main components
Bible Classes
We start with Bible classes for all ages. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult, there's a class designed for you. Our greeters will be happy to direct you to the appropriate group.
Main Worship
We sing a cappella, which means without instrumental accompaniment. You'll hear both traditional hymns and contemporary songs, all focused on praising God. The service includes songs, prayers, scripture readings, and a sermon from our preacher that's Bible-focused and practical for everyday life.
Communion
We observe the Lord's Supper each Sunday as we remember Christ's sacrifice. Individual communion cups containing bread and grape juice are available at the front doors when you enter. Whether you participate or simply observe, you're welcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to dress up for church?
Come as you are. We discourage judgment based on clothing—the Bible teaches against evaluating people by appearance.
Do you offer "kids' church"?
No. We intentionally include children in worship services to demonstrate their value as church members. However, we do provide age-specific Bible classes separate from worship.
Why don't you have a piano or a band?
We sing a cappella (voices only). While the Bible mentions singing "hymns, psalms, and spiritual songs," it doesn't describe instrumental accompaniment in early churches. We value congregational participation through voices-only singing as a beautiful form of worship.
Does your church have elders?
Yes. We have elders, also called shepherds, who provide spiritual leadership for our congregation.
Why aren't your preachers called "pastors"?
"Pastor" biblically refers to church elders. While preachers may also serve as elders, we simply don't use the "pastor" terminology for our preaching minister.
