Absolutely not. You will be welcomed and greeted by some of the most loving and gracious people you will ever meet. We would be honored to have you with us. Jesus was excited to help people connect to their Heavenly Father, and we are too.
We love kids and we're excited to welcome yours. We offer classes for all ages. We also provide a staffed nursery during services that is available should you need it. Our new Children's Bible Hour program allows children age 2 through 2nd Grade to gather together during the sermon portion of worship and hear a lesson, do a craft, and sing songs with a lesson that is geared toward their age group. Parents are welcome to join children in the nursery, Children's Bible Hour, or utilize our pager system and return to services.
Here you will find our child protection policy.
We always seek to be reverent as we worship God while understanding that stuffiness isn't the same as reverence. Though we don't always do things exactly the same way, you can expect some combination of singing, prayer, a message from the Bible, and communion.
You won't have to worry about being singled out in any way. We won't ask you to stand and introduce yourself. We want to get to know you, but we want you to feel comfortable as we worship together.
No one polices who does and doesn't take communion. Scripture teaches that communion (or "the Lord's Supper," as you'll sometimes hear it called) is a memorial designed for those who've entered a covenant relationship with God. It's a time to remember the sacrifice of Jesus, to celebrate the rescue and forgiveness it's brought into our lives, and to reaffirm our desire to continue in our relationship with God. Also, communion is a moment in which we celebrate our togetherness and connection as fellow followers of Jesus.
With all of that in mind, if you feel it makes sense for you to take communion, then you're welcome to do so.
Our singing is "acapella," which simply means "without instrumental accompaniment." Since the earliest Christians worshipped this way, and since the New Testament only mentions worshiping with our voices, we choose to just sing. We think there's beauty in the simplicity and high level of participation that acapella music brings about. If you're new to faith and don't feel comfortable singing yet, no worries. Feel free to listen.
What members wear varies. We do not have an official dress code; however, the bible mentions in multiple places we should be modest in our adorning of clothing. We are more concerned that you are with us than with what you are wearing.
