Any service is fine to visit. Probably the most common time to visit is the Sunday morning worship service (10:45 am). Here are some frequently asked questions about a Sunday morning visit.

 

How long is each service?

Typically about an hour and a half on Sunday morning and one hour on Sunday evenings.

 

What should I expect during the service?

The Sunday morning worship service consists of hymn singing, music from our choir or a special from any of our talented musicians, Bible reading, prayer, and a sermon. Someone from the platform will ask the congregation to stand at certain times, such as for the hymns. The sermon is the highlight of the service - it lasts about 60 minutes. It may be an explanation/application of a Bible passage or a topical study on what the Bible says about something. It is always intended to explain what God's Word says.   

 

What should I bring?

You do not need to bring anything. If you have a Bible, it will help you follow along with the pastor's sermon. If not, Bibles are located in the pew rack in front of your seat. An alphabetical index in the front of the Bible tells where each "book" is located (there are 66 books contained in the Bible).

 

What should I wear?

There is no particular dress code. You will see many men wearing a coat and tie - this is because we view the gathering of saints to worship God as a special occasion, and we dress accordingly. But you will see people in a spectrum of formality. Our focus is on your heart, not on what you wear.

 

What about my children?

Nursery care is provided for children through age 3. They can be checked into the nursery before the service. All other children start the service with the adults and all 1st grade and younger children are invited to Children's Church, which get dismissed just before the sermon.  If you'd prefer to keep your child with you, that is fine as long as he/she is not disruptive. Intellectually, the sermon is geared for adults.

 

Whom do I see if I have a question?

The helpful church members can answer most questions about where to go or what to do. Additionally, ushers will greet you at the door and are never far away if you need one.  For spiritual questions, the Pastors are available after the service. As they greet you at the exit door, let them know you'd like to meet with either one of the Pastors.
