What Should I Expect?   You should expect a warm greeting at the door and a vibrant, Holy Spirit- filled service.  Our service starts at 11:00 am, (really 11:15 because our folks are very excited about fellowshipping) If you'd like to come a little early for coffee and snacks and chat with us, our coffee and fellowship time starts at 10:45 am.  

 

Worship Service

We are a Holy Spirit-led church. Our worship is passionate and somewhat unconventional.  Our style is contemporary (non-traditional) and prophetic in nature (meaning - we are open to the Holy Spirit to give us spontaneous songs and sounds with and without words.)  People are encouraged to share what the Lord is showing them during worship in real time.  Some people wave flags, some dance, some shout at times. Sometimes all is quiet while we listen for what Holy Spirit is speaking.  Each service is different as we yield to whatever Holy Spirit wants to do.  We also have an art station for teens and adults where people can paint or sketch prophetically according to what the Lord is showing them.  Worship will usually last about 60 minutes or however long the Holy Spirit leads.  Sometimes if the Holy Spirit is moving in a certain way, we won't even have a traditional message.  Many times what people have shared during worship will BE the message straight from the heart of God spoken through His people.   If we're not done by 12:30 (or whenever you need to leave), please feel free to leave as needed.  We're happy to have you attend for however long you can!

 

On occasion, we may have dinners after church and you should feel free to attend if you're available.  Soup Sunday is the usually the 2nd Sunday of the month immediately after the service where everyone brings a dish to pass.  Feel free to invite friends and family.  We love people.  This is just one way we like to connect with people and get to know them.

 

What should I wear?   Most of us like to dress casually,  but if you like dressing up for church that's fine too.  Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.   

 

What do you believe?  Our Beliefs

 

Do you have any programs for my kids?  Kids are important to us!  We have children's church available for 6-11 year olds on Sunday mornings about 30 minutes into worship.  We do not yet have a pre-school program or a nursery class, but parents are welcome to take younger children into the nursery at the back of the sanctuary at any time to color, play, eat, or be changed.  We have an area in the sanctuary where children can draw at any time during the service (with parents permission.)  We like to encourage the children to participate in worship through singing, dancing, cheering (someone provided us with pom poms!) and "carefully" waving flags. 

​

* Note: Parental supervision is required for children in the nursery and on the outside playgrounds. 

 

We are working on developing a YOUTH GROUP ministry as well. We'll keep you posted. 

 

STUDY AN DISCOVERY

For those who want a deeper teaching/study, we have an Adult Sunday School  available at  9:30 -10:30 am on Sundays.  We also have a Wed. night meeting at 7pm that includes various experiences including digging deeper into scripture and learning to commune with God in everyday life. 

​

GROUPS

Another way we like to create community is through groups.  We currently have both a Men's and Ladies group.  Men's group meets every other Tuesday night at 7:00 for dinner, fellowship, and relevant discussion. There is also a men's breakfast the 1st Sat. of the month at 8:30 with the same format. 

​

Ladies have a breakfast the 3rd Sat. of every month for fellowship and Spirit-led discussion.  The ladies also meet  on the 2nd Sat. of the month at 10:00 am for a fellowship/support group. They will often do crafts and are now evolving into taking day trips together.

THE MERGE

For those who like a deeper worship experience, we host The Merge the 4th Friday of every month at 7 pm, where we invite the body of Christ from the region to join in Spirit-led worship.  We love meeting those from around the region and even other states and worshipping the Lord as ONE Body.  Afterwards we have a time refreshments where we can connect and get to know each other better.
