Will anyone pin a glow-in-the-dark visitor's badge on me when I visit?
No. We believe in protecting our guest's anonymity. You will not be singled out or asked to give a speech introducing yourself. We do encourage everyone to fill out a "Welcome" card each week and deposit it in the offering basket at the close of the service.
Will anyone ask me for money when I come?
No. In fact, we encourage our guests NOT to give in the offering. We like to think of our service as our gift to our guests. That's why we give everyone a "Welcome" card. It gives our guests something to put in the offering basket.
Will the pastor preach "over my head"?
No. We try not to assume that our guests know all the stories and themes in the Bible. We come to church to learn together, not to be quizzed on Bible knowledge. The purpose of each sermon is to relate the truth of the Bible to our everyday lives.
Do you really believe all the "stuff" in the Bible?
Yes. We recognize that many stories in the Bible are hard to believe. But Christianity is a faith journey. If God were small enough for all of us to understand, He wouldn't be big enough to be God.
What do people wear at your church?
Whatever makes them feel comfortable. Most people dress casual. Yes, shorts and jeans are OK with us! We believe God is more interested in what we look like on the inside!
What if I have kids?
Your children are welcome to enjoy the service with you. But for most children, our nursery (open during the entire Sunday service) is a more suitable place. We dismiss our grade school kids to "Crosswalk" (our children's church) just before the pastor's sermon. (We do not offer child care at our Saturday service.)
