Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in a service?
Our service usually lasts about an hour, and our goal is simple: to create a welcoming, hope-filled space where you can encounter God.
You can expect meaningful worship led by our talented local worship artists. You’re welcome to sing along, or just listen and take it in. After that, we’ll dive into a 20-30 minute Scripture-centered message that’s thoughtful and practical.
There’s no pressure to participate in any particular way. Come as you are, sit where you’re comfortable, and take the morning at your own pace.
What should I wear, and what can I expect when I arrive?
Dress however you feel comfortable, whether it’s jeans and a t-shirt or business casual, you’ll fit right in. What matters most is that you’re here!
When you arrive, our friendly welcome team will greet you and direct you to the Welcome Desk, where everyone, guests and regular attendees alike, receives a name tag to help us connect with one another.
Enjoy complimentary coffee or tea near the welcome area, and stick around after the service for light refreshments and fellowship.
What about my kids?
We love kids, and we’ve designed programs to help them learn and grow in a fun and safe environment! During the sermon, we offer Children’s Church for kids aged 4 years through 3rd grade. For older children in grades 4-6, a special lesson tailored just for them is available during the school year.
Childcare is also provided throughout the entire service for infants and toddlers up to age 3. Our team is excited to welcome your children and ensure they feel right at home.
Do you have small groups?
We offer opportunities for connection through small groups and gatherings.
Our men's study happens every Tuesday at 6:30 PM and women’s ministries meet throughout the year — call the church office for their current schedule.
Our seniors meet every second Thursday at 10:30 AM at the church. Youth Discipleship happens every Sunday evening at 7:30 PM.
