What to expect
Every visitor wonders: "What's it like at XYZ church?" Here's a brief description of what it's like to visit us for a Sunday service:
- Service starts at 10:30am, but come a little early and enjoy good coffee at our Coffee cafe
- You enter the church building. A few people are out in the foyer, having coffee and conversation. Some friendly person will likely come up and say "hi" and "welcome"
- Entering the sanctuary, the atmosphere is casual. Very few are "dressed up." Friendly conversations and the sounds of children fill the air
- Service begins and we stand, sing, and worship for 20-25 minutes. Music is a contemporary style with the occasional hymn--more like what you might hear on KLOVE Radio. Some people raise their hands in worship.
- After the singing, the Service Leader greets the people, shares some Scripture, and gives the announcements. Sometimes there's a musical selection, a video or perhaps a word of testimony. An offering is collected.
- We break 5 minutes for a "Meet and Greet" time. People are "all over the place" saying "hi," or breaking for the bathroom.
- After the break time, we release children, 3 years old through 3rd grade for Children's Church, and some parents take their infants & toddlers to the nursery.
- Then pastor preaches about a 40-minute message, usually an exposition on a passage of Scripture.
- Service concludes with prayer and/or a song, and prayer ministers are available up front to pray with anyone who would like prayer.
- Overall, we are an informal and down-to-earth people, who desire to know God better, to grow in Christian maturity, to build a sense of family among us, and above all, to make much of Jesus!
