Question 1

What should I expect if I attend a church service?

Accepted Answer

On Sundays at 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., we all gather together for worship. Generally, we will have several hymns, prayer, an offering, and then a message from the Bible. The song portion of our service lasts for about 20 minutes. The worship music is primarily great hymns of the faith as well as some choruses. We do have special music from members of the congregation on a weekly basis. Our service lasts approximately an hour. Our services are what is commonly called “traditional.” The focus of all of our meetings is the Word of God.

Do you have a nursery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nursery is provided during Sunday morning and afternoon services for children under 3 years of age.

Question 3

Is it okay to bring my children into the worship service?

Accepted Answer

Yes, children are welcome. Although nursery is available during Sunday morning services, some young children may find it difficult to leave their parents in an unfamiliar setting.  We hope that families who begin to attend our church will come to appreciate the value of worshiping as a family, as well.
