WHAT TO EXPECT
Welcome
When you arrive, you will be welcomed into a community of encouragement and acceptance. It is our desire to make everyone feel at home. After meeting some new friends, simply take a seat anywhere you feel comfortable. Please fill out a visitor's card so that we can stay in touch.
Worship
The goal of our worship is to praise and glorify God. You will find our style of worship to be simple and sincere, without flashy hype or stuffy formality. Worship will be led by various men from the congregation. We all join together in singing, prayer, and the Lord’s Supper. It is a time of praise, celebration, reflection, learning, encouragement, and fellowship. Yet, we do not believe that our Sunday worship service is the only thing that makes up congregational life. Jesus' church is a group of people who love spending time together, even outside our Sunday services. We welcome and encourage you to participate in the Bible studies, worship services, fellowships, and outreach efforts as you feel comfortable.
Singing
We love to sing! Everyone is encouraged to sing together. Our music is a cappella singing, which is without the accompaniment of musical instruments. It is our desire to both praise God and to build each other up through our worshipful songs.
Prayer
We believe in the power of prayer, and we love to pray together. We want to pray with you and for you. If you have a special prayer request, either put it on your visitor's card or raise your hand at the appropriate time at the end of the service.
Lord's Supper
We observe the Lord’s Supper every Sunday so that we may continue to be reminded of the message of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. We do this weekly in keeping with the example of the ancient church. The bread symbolizes the body of Jesus on the Cross and the fruit of the vine symbolizes the blood He shed for the cleansing of our sins. We practice open communion, so if you are a baptized Christian visiting with us, please feel free to partake of the bread and grape juice, or you can pass it along to the next person.
Preaching
You will hear a lesson from God’s Word. These sermons are geared both to teach the Christian faith to those who need to hear the Good News and to equip everyone in practical ways, as we live for God and serve Him daily.
Giving
We also take a collection each week to help further God’s work in our community and around the world. The collection is prayerfully distributed to those in need locally and to our mission efforts in foreign countries. If you are visiting, we do not expect you to give, but feel free to do so if you want to. We also encourage our members to give of their time in service to God and others, both as a church family and in all areas of their daily lives.
Fellowship
Please take the opportunity to meet new friends before and after the worship service. We also eat lunch together once a month after worship and enjoy other special events throughout the year. These times of fellowship have been vital for us over the years as we have grown in love for one another. We welcome you to stay and join us if you’d like. If you have not brought any food with you, don’t worry about it! There is plenty for us all. We want you to stay so we can get to know you better.
