What to Expect

Visiting for the First Time?

You are welcome here. There is no pressure to participate, dress a certain way, or already know what to do. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by people who are glad you’re here and happy to help you find your way.

Whenever we gather together, we seek to bring glory to God in His church and to encourage one another to serve Him more faithfully.

Ephesians 3:21; Hebrews 10:24

What Our Worship Is Like

On Sunday we gather to worship God, remember Jesus’ death on the cross, and encourage one another to grow in faith as we follow the pattern of the early church. Participation is always voluntary, and many visitors simply observe.

Prayer

We pray to God our Father through His Son, Jesus Christ. Our prayers include praise and thanksgiving, as well as humble requests for those who are sick and for needs within our congregation and community.

1 Thessalonians 5:17; Colossians 4:2; 1 Timothy 2:1

Singing

We praise God and exhort one another together through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs following the New Testament example of a cappella music sung from the heart.

Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:19

The Lord’s Supper

We memorialize Jesus’s death by eating unleavened bread and drinking the fruit of the vine, as Jesus commanded. We do this on the first day of every week, like the Christians in the first century.

Matthew 26:26-28; Luke 22:19-20; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

Giving

We give back to God as a response to His blessings. The money is collected in boxes by the entrances and is used to spread the gospel as well as helping needy saints. Visitors are not expected to contribute.

1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:6-7

Preaching and Teaching

We focus on preaching relevant, biblical sermons that equip and challenge us to be fruitful in Christ. All in attendance are encouraged to use their Bible to follow along and gain a fuller understanding and knowledge of God and His expectations of us.

Acts 2:42, 20:7; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 1:13; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 4:2

Bible Classes

We have Bible classes for all ages on Sunday mornings and on Wednesday evenings. These classes are always biblically based on a variety of subjects. We focus on spiritual growth and a fuller understanding of God’s word. We are currently studying the books of Matthew and Luke.

2 Timothy 2:15; Ephesians 4:14-16; Philippians 4:8

Common Questions

Nothing at all. You may be invited to fill out a visitor card so we have a record of your visit, but this is completely optional.

Children worship with their families during our services. We believe children benefit from being present as we sing, pray, and listen to God’s word, even if they are quietly coloring or observing. A cry room with a speaker is available if needed so parents can still listen to the service.

There is no dress code. Some attend in their “Sunday best,” while others dress more casually. Our focus is on worshiping God and learning from His word, and we encourage attire that reflects respect for God and consideration for those around us.

You don’t need to bring anything special. Bibles are available if you don’t have one, and everything in the service will be explained clearly so you can follow along.

Many members stay after worship to talk and encourage one another. You’re welcome to stay, ask questions, or leave whenever you need. There’s no pressure either way.

Still have questions?

If you’d like to know more about our beliefs, Bible classes, or what happens during worship, we’d be glad to help. You’re welcome to ask someone in person or reach out through our contact page before visiting. We’re also happy to arrange a personal Bible study if that would be helpful.
