First time visits can be awkward, so we hope a little information about what to expect will help you feel more at ease.

THE SETTING

Our sanctuary has rows of pews facing the front of the room. You are welcome to select a seat for you and your family anywhere in the room. There are no reserved seats. Sometimes, when people have not been to church in a while, they are uncertain about whether the clothes they wear will “fit in”. We want to assure you that we are much more concerned about you as a person than we are about what you choose to wear to church. In fact, as you look around, you will see that some people prefer to dress casually and other people may prefer wear a dress or suit coat.

 

WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE DURING OUR SERVICES  

When it comes time for a service to start, this will usually be cued by instrumental and/or vocal music.  At different times, we will sing together, other times, we may listen to a soloist or group. Additionally, we may stand or sit during different parts of the service.  Bible verses or song lyrics will often be displayed on the video screens for you. A couple of different times during the service, someone will say a prayer with the congregation praying along silently. We will have a message, usually delivered by our pastor, Michael Postell. At the end of the pastor’s message, he will extend an invitation for anyone in the room who wants to make a spiritual commitment or to pray. You may see people go toward the front of the room to have a brief conversation with a minister or to pray about concerns they may have.  During the service we will take an offering. These financial gifts are an expression of our worship and obedience to God. These funds go to pay for equipment and expenses of the church like chairs, carpet,  air conditioning, and utilities.  These monies also help us accomplish the goal of meeting the spiritual and physical needs of others locally and internationally, as a means of honoring God.  As our guest, you are welcome to make a contribution, but are not expected nor obligated to do so.

 

GETTING INVOLVED

While we hope that those sitting around you are pleasant and welcoming, the primary focus of a worship service is to pay attention to God and to worship him.  As you join us in praying, singing, and listening to the sermon, it is a time for you to communicate with God.  However, there are ways you can get to know other people and make new friends.  Small groups, classes, Bible studies and other gatherings like this are where we really get to know one another. We offer bible study classes for all ages on Sundays starting at 9:45 a.m. Any of our staff or greeters are available to help you find the class that best fits you and your family.

 

THE PEOPLE

What kind of people can you expect to find in our church? All kinds. You’ll find happy people and sad people--people who are friendly, and maybe even a few grouchy people. We are imperfect people just like you who have good days and bad days. We are all in different places in our spiritual journey and maturity. We don’t know everything, and we don’t do everything right. We haven’t arrived. In fact, we are all sinners in need of God’s forgiveness made possible through Jesus Christ. We are all on a journey in seeking to start or strengthen our relationship with Christ, inviting him make a difference in the way we think, feel, and act.   We desire to come together as a group of people to honor God, and with his help, accomplish some things that make a difference.
