What happens on a Sunday?
Singing, a welcome, and prayer together, then about thirty minutes of teaching from Scripture. Nobody is in a hurry to clear the room afterward — stay, meet someone, ask a question.
Is there something for my kids?
Yes. Reflection Kids is for infants–5th grade on Sundays. Kids are checked in by a parent or guardian every week for their safety and security, and you can register them ahead of time online.
Do you take communion?
Yes. In our communities, we share the bread and cup of communion around the kitchen table, in celebration and remembrance of our hope in Jesus.
The questions people don't ask out loud
Will I get singled out?
No. We won't ask you to stand, introduce yourself, or wear anything that marks you as new. If you'd like to talk to someone, find us afterward — we'd love that. If you'd rather slip out, that's genuinely fine.
Do I have to give?
No. If you're visiting, please don't. Giving is something the church family does together; it isn't the price of a seat.
I've never been to church. Will I be lost?
You might not know when to stand or what a passage means, and that's expected. Nothing on a Sunday assumes you grew up doing this.
How long is it?
About an hour and fifteen minutes.
What should I wear?
Whatever you'd wear to meet a friend for coffee. You will not be the most or least dressed-up person in the room.
Can I come alone?
Yes, and plenty of people do.
