What to Expect and FAQ's
What Type of Worship Music do you Have in Your Services? Mostly hymns, but we also sprinkle in some contemporary music from time-to-time. We are working on that “right balance” between enjoying the worship music of yesterday while also embracing the worship music of today. We want to be intentional & deliberate in all that we do for the effectiveness of the Gospel, the glory of God & the good of our people.
What Should I Wear? Wear whatever makes you comfortable. Some of our members wear suits others wear jeans & a t-shirt. Come as you & be comfortable in whatever you decide to wear.
What Kind of Counseling Services are Available? Our pastor’s are able to do counseling, but in those situations when they or the individual believe “more” is needed we have a list of local Referral Agencies. These referral agencies cover a myriad of services: Marriage Counseling, Financial, Mental Health Issues, Food Pantry’s, Addiction & Recovery, Job Placement & Work-Related, Grief, Pregnancy Related, Adoption, Abortion Alternatives, Divorce Recovery, Elder Care, etc.! Check out the Ministry Referral Information here.
What Can I Find Your Statement of Beliefs/Faith? These can be found under our About Us tab; click below for more information.
I Have Children, How Can I be Sure that my Children are in a Safe Environment? Great question! Our nursery & youth volunteers have had background checks done on them (these will also be redone every two years to ensure we have up-to-date information), receive training & complete a volunteer application (middle school & above volunteers). Additionally, we have recently integrated sign-in/checkout procedures for nursery-3rd grade students. Lastly, we are always looking for ways to improve & invest in our volunteers so that your students have the best possible experience.
