What should I wear?
Please wear whatever makes you comfortable. Men generally wear a variety of clothes. Some wear suits, some dress pants and shirts, casual pants and golf shirts and sometimes jeans. Women wear dresses/skirts or dress pants or blue jeans. Modesty in church is usually a preconceived understanding. Children should wear comfortable clothes, such as jeans and sneakers. After Junior church, which sometimes involves craft projects, children may want to enjoy our playground.

When does the service start?
Sunday School starts at 9:30 a.m., Sunday Morning Worship starts at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday evening service begins at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday services begin at 7:00 p.m. All of our services usually last between 90 to 120 minutes.

Where do I park?
We have a large parking lot on the east (rear) side of the Sanctuary. There is also a parking lot on the north and south sides of the Sanctuary with HANDICAPPED parking available.

The main entrance to the sanctuary is from the south side parking lot near the outdoor church sign.  Most of our members enter from the east side (rear by the Family Life Center) and come through the Educational/Fellowship wings.

What happens during the worship service?
When you walk in our doors for a worship service, you will be greeted by an usher or one of our greeters. They will help you with any questions you may have. They will give you a personal welcome and help you find the rest rooms or a seat if necessary.

The Choir will usually open the service. The Pastor will greet the people and lead in prayer. You will experience high energy praise and worship in song, followed by more worship we call tithe and offerings. We have a praise and worship song just before the message. All of the lyrics to our songs will be visible on the overhead screen so first time visitors can participate. You will witness some who lift their hands and others who may express other types of liberties during the song service.

The pastor will preach a message for practical everyday living. You may hear vocal support from the congregation in the form of an "amen" or "good word" expression. He will conclude by giving an altar invitation where lost men and women can be saved and Christians can be healed, delivered, filled with the spirit or receive other spiritual gifts. All of that is contingent upon what God has planned.


What is the preaching like?
The preaching is usually vibrant, demonstrative and anointed. Seldom will you be bored. Our Pastors strive to offer personal and thought-provoking ideas on topics that point you closer to God, teach you how to live in righteousness and walk in the victory Christians were saved to do. We encourage you to bring your bible even though you will see the sermon scriptures on the overhead screen.

Can I bring my children?
Both you and your children are always welcome. Our goal is to "facilitate ethical and spiritual development in our children so that they will be empowered to become disciples of Christ.

We provide free childcare for infants and toddlers, from 15 minutes before the start of the service to 15 minutes after the end of the service. Childcare is located in the Educational Wing in rooms 101 and 102. Should a problem arise, one of the childcare assistants will come to find you in the sanctuary. Children are also welcome to stay with their parents in the sanctuary. If they become restless or unhappy at any point you may visit the nursery classes then as well.

Will I feel welcome?
Absolutely. We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person and in acceptance of one another and encouragement to the spiritual growth of all. We have members who are rich and poor, black and white, young and old. Our members come from many different occupations, cultural heritages, and religious backgrounds.

Will I be pressured to join or convert?
No. You will never be pressured to do anything in our church. We believe that you should take the time to see whether we are a good fit and to consider our covenant. Membership conveys certain privileges, such as voting rights, but there are a number of congregants who are very active in our church and have never become a member.
