Is there a dress code?

We do not have a dress code. There will be people dressed in suits and ties, but there will also be people dressed in jeans and t-shirts. Don’t stress out about what people will think of your clothing. We’re just happy you’re planning on coming!

How will I know where to go when I get there?

From the parking lot, go up the hill to the front of the building. Enter through the double glass doors, and there you’ll find the Welcome Center. There should be someone there to point you in the right direction. Just tell them you’re visiting. If you’re trying to find where the Bible classes take place, all the classes with the exception of the pre-k class (which meets in the nursery), take place on the basement level, which is accessed through the door directly to the left of the entrance doors. If you’re looking for the adult Bible class, or the main worship area, they are both in the auditorium, which is to the right of the welcome desk. 

Should I participate in the communion (Lord’s Supper)?

The communion is a fellowship and memorial ceremony between Jesus and the church. It is a way to unite the church in memory of Jesus’ sacrifice. This ceremony is intended for the members of the church. 

Are there Bible classes for all ages, and where do the classes take place?

Yes! We have Bible classes for all ages, ranging from pre-k thru 12th grade, as well as an adult Bible class. The pre-k class meets in the nursery upstairs, but all the other children’s classes meet on the lower level. The adult Bible class is held in the auditorium (the same room the worship service happens in). To get to the classes on the lower level, take the stairs or elevator through the door to your immediate left after entering the lobby. 

Is there a nursery where I can take my kids during the service?

Yes, the nursery is located off the lobby, on the side farthest from the entrance doors. You can take your young children there if they misbehave during worship, but we ask that you bring them back out as soon as you can so they can benefit from the worship as well. 

Can I make comments or ask questions during Bible class?

Our Bible classes are interactive, and your insight is appreciated and encouraged. Raise your hand to indicate to the teacher that you want to make a comment or ask a question. 

Is there handicap parking, and where is it located?

Yes, we have lots of convenient handicap parking near the front entrance of the building. 

How does the giving process work?

If you want to make a donation to help the church continue to operate and spread the good news, there are contribution boxes at the back of the auditorium next to each set of double doors leading into the lobby. 

Where should I sit during the Bible class or worship service?

You can sit anywhere you like. There is no reserved seating in our auditorium. Sit wherever makes you the most comfortable.

Will there be anything expected of me during the service?

In short, no. Other than your attention and participation in worship, nothing more is expected. Continue reading for more details.

At some points in the worship service, the song leader may ask the congregation to stand for a song or Bible reading for those who are able to do so. 

Also, during the communion, if you are not a member, you are not expected to participate. Those who DO choose to participate in the communion (Lord’s Supper) will take a single-serve communion cup before the worship from the lobby, and keep it with them until that point in the service. 

As a guest, you are not expected to give any money, and there is no passing a plate at any point during the service. The contribution boxes are at the back of the auditorium for those who are members.

At the end of the sermon, anyone wishing to make their lives right with God are encouraged to come to the front row and speak with a minister. However, this can also be done in private after everyone else has left. All you have to do is talk to the minister who delivered the sermon, or anyone else in our leadership team, and we can help you in your walk with God. We NEVER want to put anyone on the spot or make anyone feel as though they are being pressured into doing anything.

Where do I take my kids?

For Bible class, the pre-k kids are watched over in the nursery, which is on the far side of the lobby, and to the left. All other kids classes take place on the lower level. For worship, you can also take kids to the nursery if they are misbehaving. 

Are face masks required?

With COVID numbers down in the area, face masks are currently NOT required as of the time of this writing (Nov. 5th, 2021). 

How long do services typically last? 

Bible classes are typically 40-45 minutes. The Sunday morning worship service is 1 hour, and concludes around noon.

Who do I talk to if I have questions after the service?

You can ask any of our leadership team, and they would be happy to answer any questions. Just ask for one of the ministers, and someone will point you in the right direction.

Do I need to give money to the church when I visit?

No! Guests are NEVER asked or expected to contribute. That is the responsibility of our members.
