Come On Over...

Once you've selected which service to attend, come on over! The dress is casual.  People wear what is comfortable to them.  A few will have ties, but many will have shorts, jeans, or sandals. (For directions, please click Here) People usually arrive ten minutes ahead of the worship service in order to park, drop off kids if needed, grab a bulletin, and find a seat before the service begins. As you enter our parking lot, choose any parking spot you'd like. There are some guest parking spots available in the parking lot as you enter from Palopinto.  There are greeters around the patio who will welcome you and can assist you if you have any questions. 

The Service Itself...

Once inside our worship center, please find a seat wherever you will be comfortable. And please relax. We promise not to put you on the spot during your visit with us. However, do expect a few friendly people who may stop by to say "good morning" on their way in. Each service includes a number of songs with the lyrics shown on our projection screens in the front.  If you feel like joining in, please do! If you'd rather not, please feel comfortable to simply listen. About halfway through the service someone (usually one of our pastors) will stand and teach from the Bible. These sermons are designed to dig into the Biblical text and make it relevant to our everyday lives. Communion (Eucharist/ Lord's Supper) is served after the sermon on the first Sunday of every month.  Anybody who is seeking to follow Jesus Christ as their Savior is welcome to participate. 

Children...

On Saturday night, we encourage children to worship with their family while we offer care for birth through age 2. On Sunday morning we offer a variety of programs throughout  the morning for children and students of all ages.  Middle School and High school students have groups that meet during the 9:45am service.  Many of these students also attend the 11:11 worship service.  We ask that you walk your younger children to their classrooms.  All children 5th grade and younger need to be signed in and out.  We encourage you to introduce yourself to the teacher, and ask any questions you may have about our Children's Program.

After the Service...

When the worship service is over, we invite you to join us on our sunny patio for coffee, hot chocolate, or lemonade. This gives us a chance to introduce ourselves to you and answer any questions you may have about our church or the worship service you've just experienced. Please feel free, as well, to contact us by phone or e-mail; or just stop by the Church Office to ask any other questions you may have about us.
