What happens when I arrive?
There are a couple of ways to enter the building. The main entry is through the glass doors at the side of the building near the front parking lot and opens into the worship center lobby. The back entry is through the glass doors at the rear of the building at our church offices. From here there is easy access to our nursery facilities and our worship center. There will usually be someone waiting to open the door for you, say hello, and answer your questions. There is a Welcome Table in the worship center lobby with information about the church and other literature. Take whatever interests you – it’s free! |

What about the kids?
We consider every child a blessing and promise from the Lord. Because we want every child to experience the love of Jesus Christ, we provide a comfortable environment so that each child may learn and feel loved. A nursery and children’s church are available for the younger children during our worship services. A special needs ministry is offered to children with learning disabilities during our 11:00 a.m. worship service.
How should I dress? We have no dress code. Some people come to church wearing wear their best clothes, like a dress or a suit and tie. Others are dressed more casually, shirt and slacks or jeans. Either way is OK! |

What is the worship service like? Our goal is for each service to be joyful and meaningful as you seek to meet and honor God through worship. We meet in the worship center at The service usually lasts about an hour and 15 minutes. The two services are normally identical, with the same music, same sermon, etc. Someone will hand you a bulletin with the week’s announcements and a program for the day's service.
Our worship services are best classified as blended, with lots of singing and prayer. We love to praise God through music, so we sing both contemporary praise songs and traditional hymns, and often enjoy special selections from our excellent choir and accomplished musicians.
You'll hear a sermon from one of our pastors. We think you'll find the messages encouraging, relevant, and thought provoking. If you have a personal Bible you will probably want to bring it to follow along. We also have Bibles available in the pews.
We normally collect an offering during the service. We do not ask that our visitors give for the expenses of our church. Although, we would like to know more about you, so we encourage you to sign our Friendship Folder. |

You may find that people are slow to leave after the service. Many people stand around to visit and enjoy a cup of coffee and a cookie in our Fellowship Hall. Our pastors stand at the door to shake everyone's hand as they leave.
