What’s a Service Like?

Our services typically last about 90 minutes.
  • We start with several worship songs led by our pastor at the piano. The words for the worship music are either contained in our hymn books in the pews or are displayed on screen at the front of the church. Worship is typically around 20 minutes.
  • Worship is followed by announcements. An alter call is then conducted to pray for anyone with any special needs. The alter call is followed by testimonies. Our pastor will then deliver a message that will typically be 30-45 minutes long.
  • The message will be followed by a corporate prayer. Service will close with a final worship service and a member of the congregation providing the benediction.

Sunday School Questions

Where do my children go?

Your children are welcomed in the sanctuary for the beginning of service.  They our encouraged to join the congregation for the initial parts of service that proceed the pastor’s main message.  After the collection offering, the pastor will dismiss the Sunday Schools.  The Sunday School teachers will take the students downstairs to the classrooms where Sunday School will begin.

No need to worry.  Kids are the future of the church and make a service more lively.  If you prefer, you have the option of taking your children to the Sunday School classrooms early until Sunday School begins.  You will need to supervise them until the Sunday School teacher enters the classroom.

Sunday School ends a few minutes before the end of the main service.  The Sunday School teachers will walk the students to the sanctuary and guide the children to their caretakers before the closing song to end service.  If you want pick up your children early, you are welcomed to pick them up in the Sunday School classrooms.  You can get to the classrooms by walking out the main sanctuary doors and following the staircase the leads underneath the sanctuary.
