The thought of visiting a church for the first time can be a little intimidating, but we hope you’ll feel right at home as you join us for a worship service. Nothing could make us happier than to welcome you as an honored guest! We assure you that you won’t be put on the spot in any way. But you’ll leave with a number of new friends and the assurance that you are genuinely valued and always welcome here.
You’ll probably notice the excitement right off the bat. The place is usually buzzing with conversation and warm greetings. It’s not because these people have gathered for some kind of show, but because they’ve been looking forward to being here, together, to worship and praise God! Every time we meet for worship is the best kind of family reunion. You’ll see all ages and all colors, new acquaintances and old friends, people from every background and occupation and educational level you can imagine.
What to Expect When You Visit
Singing
This just might take your breath away. We’re enthusiastic about the privilege of worship in song. Everyone pours out their hearts to God together — no instruments, just voices, exactly as the New Testament describes in Ephesians 5:19 and Colossians 3:16.
Praying
We know of no greater reassurance than to be welcomed into God’s presence. It is a special blessing when the family comes together and lifts many hearts to the Father at once.
Communion
Our Savior instituted this memorial on the night before His crucifixion. We gather on the first day of every week to remember His death until He comes again — both a solemn and joyful occasion (1 Corinthians 11:23–34). As a guest, whether to take part is a decision only you can make.
Giving
The Lord gives us the privilege to return our best to Him in thankfulness. These gifts carry out the works of the church in benevolence and teaching the message of Jesus. As a guest here, you should not feel any obligation to take part.
Teaching
We take great delight in meditating on God’s teachings as a way of drawing closer to Him. Bible classes offer an informal setting where anyone can ask questions — your question may lead us all to learn something new together.
“The door’s open and the Son is shining. We look forward to welcoming you here.”
