What to Expect
Q: How should I dress?
A: You are welcome to wear comfortable clothes, business casual, or even a dress or a suit and a tie.
Q: Are children welcome in the worship services?
A: Absolutely! We encourage parents to bring their children to worship. Our worship services include a special children's sermon just for them. We also have activity bags for kids. If you should need to comfort a crying infant, you can ask an usher to direct you to our nursery room.
Q: Do you have programs for children and youth?
A: Yes. We offer Sunday School at 9 a.m. We also have programs for Jr. High & Sr. High youth. Once you arrive, ask an usher for more information and directions to the classrooms.
Q: What type of music do you use in the worship services?
A: Our services include traditional hymns, contemporary praise choruses, and choir anthems. The pipe organ and piano are frequently used in our worship services but we are open to other musical instruments. If you're looking for a contemporary praise band, then we don't have one but we're always looking to start something new, let's talk.
Q: Can I join the choir?
A: Of course, all you have to do is come to our choir practices, which are held on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. Ask one of our ushers for directions to the Choir Room.
Q: Tell me more about the typical worship service.
A: Our worship services are based on the biblical fourfold structure of gathering, encountering, responding, and going forth. We gather together as Christ's church to sing praises to God and confess our sins. We seek to encounter God's word through the reading of scripture, the interpretation of that word through sermons and statements of faith, and through the practice of prayer and baptism. We respond in gratitude for what God has done for us by bringing our tithes and offerings to support the ministries of the church and to make a difference in the lives of others. We renew our promises to serve Christ by participating in Holy Communion . Finally, we depart into the world to put into practice all the things we just rehearsed in worship through our 3 Great Loves: love of neighbor, love of children, and love of creation.
