OUR GATHERING

what to expect on SUNDAYS

Our main entrance is located at the North end of our parking lot.  As you enter the double doors, you will find our childcare and children's wing to the left.  Straight ahead will take you to our Gathering Place (fellowship area) and our Worship Center to the right.


We hope that our services are warm and inviting.  We have no dress code.  Some folk dress up.  Most wear casual clothes.  We simply want you to be comfortable and prepared to be blessed!


Our music style varies from week to week.  Often our Praise Band leads in a blend of contemporary and older hymns.  On occasion, our piano and/or organ provide a more traditional sound.  Prayer and the reading of Scripture are at the center of every service.  Each week our pastor presents a twenty-five to thirty minute message that seeks to apply the teachings of the Bible to the challenges of every day life.  He seeks to make each message relevant and inspiring.


Nursery services and childcare are provided for children under five during the worship service.  Children are also welcome in the service.  Activity binders for children are provide on a side table as you enter the Worship Center.  These binders provide various worksheets that children might find interesting. 


Communion/the Lord's Supper is served each week to all who are seeking to follow Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior regardless of religious background.  A person does not need to be a member of this congregation to participate in communion.  Usually, we partake of the bread as it is passed and partake of the cup in unison when instructed.


Participation, not performance, is our goal.  You will note that many different people are involved in our worship service.  Men and women, young and old, read Scripture, pray, pass the communion elements, and serve in many other capacities.  We endeavor to be a "people's church." 


At around 11:45 am, immediately following the 10:30 service, we usually gather just outside the Worship Center in the Gathering Place for light refreshments. This is an excellent opportunity to meet people and ask any question you may have.
