What to Expect

We know that first-time visits to a new church can be intimidating for some, and we want to make sure you know what to expect when you visit.  Here are some things you can expect when you come to visit us:

A warm welcome   We won't single you out, put you on the spot or embarass you!  Our friendly greeters will welcome you and help you find coffee, the nursery, the restroom... whatever you need.  If you arrive early and don't see many people around - don't be worried! We tend to be a late-arriving crowd, and many of our regular attenders arrive just before the service begins.


If you don't know anyone when you arrive, you're sure to before you leave!  If it makes you feel more comfortable to know someone before you arrive, contact us today and meet someone over the phone, or arrange to meet us in person.

 

We welcome folks from all backgrounds - whether you're a regular churchgoer, new to this whole "church" thing, or just searching for something spiritually.

A relevant message   If it doesn't matter on Monday, why do it on Sunday? Positive, biblically based messages help you deal with real life issues.
 


Don't worry if you don't have a Bible   
We have Bibles available in the seats, in case you forget to bring yours.  If you don't own one - take one of ours home to keep!

Children's Church and Nursery   You need to be sure your kids are in a safe environment, and we know your kids want to have fun.  Our teaching volunteers love children, and work hard to provide a safe, fun and educational children's program.  All our volunteers have passed a criminal background check. After our time of music, your children are welcome to join other children in Children's Church, or stay with you.

Great music   Our worship team plays a mix of songs from contemporary music to prayerful, thoughtful music to older hymns.  The music is led by guitars, drums, and keyboards, and lyrics are displayed on a screen in front. We encourage you to sing along, but if you don't want to sing that's OK - feel free just to listen.

 

Casual dress   Relax and be yourself!  Feel free to wear jeans and a t-shirt, your Sunday best, or anything that feels comfortable.


Fresh coffee, and tea are available before and after the service.  Help yourself!
