What Should you Expect as a First Time Visitor?

Where can I park?
Parking is available in the front, side or in back of the church. On most Sundays, valet parking is available as needed.  Just pull up to the front door and ask for help parking.

What should I wear?
Most people's attire is business casual, although some people dress more casually. We do not have a dress
 code​. 

Is there Sunday school? What about for children?

Many of our church members will begin settling in downstairs into one of our three adult Sunday school classrooms around 9:20am. Each class will have time for prayer, current events, fellowship and a short in-depth lesson of the Bible. During this time, for children, we offer classes for small toddlers, a Kindergarten through 2nd grade, 2-5 grade, and a youth class for those from 6-12th grade. 

What is the length of the service?

Our Worship service begins with announcements and a prelude at 10:30am. The service concludes at approximately 11:45am. The first Sunday of every month is our communion service. Everyone who is a believer in Christ is welcomed to participate in our Lord's Supper. Please allow for an additional 10-15 minutes of service during communion Sunday.

Are children expected to remain in service? ​
Children age 3 and under are welcome to remain in the nursery during the duration of the service. We encourage children to be part of the opening of our service when we sing and for a children's message.  After the special music portion of the service, children are taken downstairs for a Bible lesson.

What Bible is used?
Most people use the New International Version, though we have people who prefer the New Living Translation, the King James Version, or some other English translation. The pastor uses the NIV in the worship service, and supplements that with other translations if they have a better sense of the original language.

​Please feel free to visit our church as often as you'd like. We are sure you will find it very warm, friendly and welcoming.
