Visiting a church can be stressful. We've all been where you are right now. So we can say with great confidence that the blessing of finding this church is a rich reward for the stress of the first-time visit.
We want to do our part to minimize the potential stress of your first visit. Here are our promises to you:
- You will not be embarrassed by not knowing what to do and where to go. We've worked very hard to have directional signs to help in your visit. However, signs can be confusing, so we've got several designated greeters around the church lobby. You'll recognize them by the name tag. Don't hesitate to ask them questions.
- You will not be asked to do anything embarrassing. We won't ask you to stand and introduce yourself in the service. We won't ask you to wear a big flower or a special pin that targets you as a guest. We appreciate your visit. We will give you plenty of space to enjoy your time with us.
- You won't be shaken down for money. We don't apologize for the offering during the worship time. The gifts we give to the Lord are an expression of gratitude and dependence upon God. However, you are not expected to participate in the offering. You will not be asked to pay for the service, the coffee, or the friends you make during your visit.
- You will be welcomed as you are. We will do our best to offer you a timeless experience of the Christian faith where God comes to you in very ways He has promised, and that you can rely on along with those of every generation who have trusted in Jesus.
- You will be encouraged with God's Word. We will do our best to give you a message from God's Word which is reliable and certain, and that will give you hope and direction to live in the confidence of His promises for the week to come.
- You will discover more about God's active love in our lives and be challenged to experience the fullness of life that is ours as we follow Jesus.
