What to expect when you visit
Some visitors are concerned about fitting in or embarrassing themselves (or us!) when they visit. We welcome anyone who is seeking Jesus.
When you arrive, you may feel free to find a seat in the auditorium wherever you wish. A greeter will be happy to orientate you to the facility and help you find a seat. Unlike some conservative Mennonite congregations, men and women do not sit separately for the service. We usually sit as families.
Sunday Morning Service
10:15-10:35
Worship & Singing
We start with 20 minutes of worship in song, scripture reading, prayer, and giving. You are welcome to participate in singing from our hymnals or off a projector screen or you can just enjoy listening. The congregation sings in four-part harmony without accompaniment. We do not normally clap to accompany our songs, but if the Spirit leads you to clap, we will not be offended!
10:35-11:10
Sunday School
We have classes for everyone age 4 and up.
Join us to study God's Word and fellowship with other believers. We use a study guide as we discuss a passage of Scripture. You are welcome to participate in the discussion or you can sit and listen.
11:10-12:10
Service
At 11am we re-gather in the auditorium. (Aside from Sunday School, children usually stay with their parents or other adults during the entire service. We do not have a separate service for children, we are pleased to have them worship with us.) We have a time of sharing praise and prayer items and following prayer, one of the men will preach a 35 minute sermon. The service is usually completed by noon.
It is not unusual for many to stay around for 30-50 minutes following the service in informal fellowship, hearing from each other and encouraging each other.
We also meet outside of Sunday morning for afternoon and evening services and meal and social events. See the calendar for more details.
While we appreciate respectful modesty we do not have a dress code for visitors. Men usually wear a suit or dress pants with a button-down shirt. Women usually wear dresses with a cape or layered top and cover their long hair with a cap or veil. We are not offended by women who do not veil their heads during our services, although we encourage them to explore the Christian practice described in I Corinthians 11.
