A Typical Service
Pre-service:
When you first arrive our greeters are ready to give you a bulletin that outlines what's going on at our church, some helpful information for you and some direction for what to do after our service is over. If you need anything at all, ask one of these greeters and they can help you find what you're looking for. Once you enter the auditorium, feel free to sit anywhere you'd like and check out what's going on in your bulletin.
Song Service:
Our music portion usually lasts from 10-15 minutes to start the service. We have a blended song service which means we sing hymns and contemporary worship music with lyrics shown on a screen behind the stage. We usually stand together and sing, but if you have physical limitations please don't feel bad about sitting.
Communion:
After our song service we take communion together. This is a time that our church takes each Sunday to remember Jesus and his sacrifice for us. If you are unsure or uncomfortable taking communion, please don't feel pressured to participate. We believe this is a personal time between a Christian and Jesus, so this part of our service is quiet, with some light piano music playing in the background.
Giving:
During this time in our service, we pass metal offering plates down each row. We encourage and expect our members to give with cheerful hearts. If you are not a member but would like to give, feel free to do so and know that it is very much appreciated, but don't feel pressured to give either. We believe that giving is between you and God and we don't expect annual tithing pledges of any kind. We encourage you to give and God leads you. If you would like more information about where the weekly giving total goes, how its used or why giving is important, reach out to one of our staff members here
Prayer:
Each week, we take time in our service to pray together. We do this to set our minds and hearts in the right place for what God has in store for us. If you have prayer request, there is a prayer request card in the seat-back that you can fill out and turn in to the offering plate. Please note that these are read aloud unless indicated otherwise.
Message:
We do our very best each week to present the Good News of Jesus in our messages. Usually the message last for about 25-30 minutes with slides that support the message. In your bulletin you will find a notes page which will serve as a guide to help you follow along.
