What to expect

We know it's not always easy to walk into something new.  Whether you've never gone to church before or you're a lifelong follower of Jesus, you are welcome here.  This is a place where you can come as you are to find new ideas, perspectives, and friends.

 

What should I wear?
Wear what you like.  There's no spoken or unspoken dress code.  There's no right or wrong.  What matters to God and to us is that you are here.

 

Which service should I attend?   Here are some things to think about as you make that decision:


Time:  Are you an early riser?  You might like the early option at 8:15 AM.  Or do you like to start your Sunday kind of slow or is it just hard to get the kids out of the house early on the weekend?   Then 9:45 AM  or 11:15 AM might be the right fit. 

 

Style: Casual and contemporary?  Try the 8:15 AM or 9:45 AM service in West Side South.  Classical and liturgical?  Try our traditional service at 11:15 AM in West Side North.

 

Children: We have childcare available for infants through kindergarten during the worship services, cry rooms if you want to hold onto your little ones during the service, Sunday morning programs for all ages from 9:45-10:45 AM, and kids are always welcome in worship.  

 

What about the offering plate?
Please let the offering basket go by and be our guest.  As members of our church, we give joyfully in worship and gratitude to God to support the ongoing work of the church.  We do hope you will fill out a Connect Card from the pew, drop it in the basket, and let us know how we might serve you.

 

What else?
We follow Jesus by loving God, loving people, and serving the world.  We invite you to learn more about the many ways we do this by staying for lunch to meet our staff, we do this on a quarterly basis, and by browsing this web site.  We have a information tables in both buildings and people who can answer questions every Sunday in our main building.   Please drop by the office and see us whenever it is convenient for you.  You can reach us by phone at 509.946.4656 or by email.

 

We hope to see you soon.
