What can I expect on my first visit?
You can expect a friendly, welcoming atmosphere! We will do our best to make you feel comfortable.
When are your services?
We have worship service at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday. We also offer Sunday school for all age groups at 9:45 a.m.
What can I expect at a worship service?
We sing a blended mix of Christian music in our service, which is selected to compliment that morning’s message. We offer powerful preaching in each service.
Where do I take my children?
Our Kid’s Cove is designed to provide children 1st through 5th grades with a worship experience geared to their needs. They will sing songs with choreographed movements, play games that relate to the lesson of the day, participate in small groups to deepen understanding of the lesson’s concepts and most importantly – have fun! Our goal is to teach your children that choosing to live for God is best and also a blast!
We also offer a nurturing learning environment for our infants and preschoolers during our service. Our preschool ministry is designed to offer a safe and secure environment for preschoolers to learn that God loves them and so do the people at church. Our teachers use learning centers designed to capitalize upon the eight ways that preschoolers learn – senses, curiosity, hands on experience, satisfaction, relationships, imitation, play and repetition. These methods are applied over and over to the child in an effort to deepen their understanding of basic Biblical principles.
Due to our increasingly changing world, your child’s security is of the utmost importance to our church staff. For this reason, we require everyone with a preschooler or child to check in. Please sign your infant or preschooler in at the Ministry Center in the main lobby and/or your 1st-5th grade child at the desk in the east lobby. Preschoolers and children will only be released to the person that dropped them off. No child will be allowed to go and find their parent. Parents must come and pick up their children. After you check your child in, one of our greeters will be happy to guide you and your child to the correct classroom.
What do you offer for students?
We have an excellent program for our youth, led by our Pastor of Family Discipleship, Andrew Wilson. Youth, in grades six to twelve, enjoy a time of fellowship and learning during our Sunday school hour. Wednesday nights offer Encounter at 6:30 p.m. We also have many events for youth throughout the year such as paintball, lock-ins, retreats to the mountains or beach, youth-based worship services, and much more!
