Frequently Asked Questions

[+] [-] What is the worship service like?

Some visitors have described it by saying "it feels like church." We sing hymns and psalms to organ and piano. We read and pray responsively. We worship God according to, and by use of, the Scriptures, which are read, preached, prayed, and sung. We celebrate communion every Sunday and our table is open to all professed believers who are members of a Christian church. Most important is this: we worship him because we love him. True worship is never rote, mechanical, or lifeless.


[+] [-] How long is the service?

It varies. We begin at 10:30 and normally conclude between 11:45 and 12:15. Neither the service nor the sermon are subjected to any aribrary length requirements.


[+] [-] Is there a dress code?

Not at all. Though, in our culture how we dress says much about how we feel about, and what we believe about, the event we're attending. We dress up for dates and funerals out of respect for another person. We dress up for job interviews, court hearings, and weddings because we think those events are important. We believe that on Sunday the most high God of the universe is assembling his people together so that they can worship him. We try to dress accordingly, but each individual decides what is appropriate.


[+] [-] If I visit, will I be foreced to stand up, introduce myself, or stand in a receiving line?

No chance. We'd be thrilled to have you worship with us but the focus on Sunday morning is squarely on God and not any members or visitors. We do ask that you fill out a visitor's card so the pastor can send you a letter with some information. And don't be surprised if lots of our members want to say "hello" and introduce themselves. But we're not going to do anything to embarrass you.


[+] [-] What is Sunday School like?

You should come see for yourself! We offer two Sunday Schools: one is available for our littlest children (generally 7 and under, but that's for parents to decide) and one for adults. The children's class involves singing, teaching, games and snacks. The adults get coffee, Biblical instruction, and lots of discussion.
