In John 15:13, it states “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
Agape is the Greek word for the love Christ showed as He lived and died for each of us. The love He showed allows us the opportunity to love through choosing daily to live for others above ourselves.
In the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Christ provides us with the ultimate example of what loving others means. We will follow His lead by loving those around use without question. We will live lives of relentless pursuit of Christ through loving others by our actions, words, and relationships.
A new environment can be intimidating. Here is additional information to make your first visit a comforting one! Feel free to message our FB page with additional questions.
Service Times
Worship services begin at 10am on Sundays and 7pm on Wednesdays. Fifteen minutes prior to service, people begin arriving to fellowship and prepare themselves a cup of coffee at our coffee bar. You will be greeted warmly by one or church family members.
Upon arriving on location, you can park in the front in a designated parking space or in the gravel. The main building in front of the large sign with two wooden doors (typically with wreaths) are the main entrance. When you enter, there is a small lobby and restrooms directly down the hall to the left. You will be welcomed by a member of the church and shown to the main sanctuary.
Children Check-ins
While you’re in church, your kids may enjoy an experience created just for them! Children can be checked into their classes 15 minutes prior to service. A member of our Welcome Team or a children’s worker will greet you upon coming into the doors and is able to show you where to take your children, if you wish for them to participate in our kids area. Nursery-toddlers and preschool ages 3-5 are in a wing off to the right of the main sanctuary. Older children, K-6th grade, are in a building behind the main sanctuary.
Connect with Us
While you are waiting for service to begin, or even after service during the ride home, we’d like you to fill out our Connect card to tell us a little about yourself. You can access the card via a mobile device here.
Music
There is a 5-minute countdown that displays on the tvs in the sanctuary. When it hits zero, a member of the worship team will provide a brief welcome before starting the music portion of service. We stand during singing and may also lift our hands, clap, and sometimes shout because He has been so good to us. We use music to help us worship God for who He is and all that He has done in our lives.
Tithes and Offerings
We worship God by giving to Him through a monetary gift. As our guest, don’t feel pressured to give, just know that this is the time in service where members faithfully and biblically give to support the mission and vision of our church.
Message
We intend to be a church that is Christ-centered and Spirit-led. Our pastor delivers engaging messages based on the Bible.
Altar Call
At the end of the message, you’ll be given an opportunity to immediately respond to God. You may visit the altar for someone to pray with or for you.
After Service
Our service concludes with the pastor saying “Christ does,” and the people respond with “so we do.” Our pastor and his wife would like to meet you. Others around you may introduce themselves to say hello and thank you for coming.
