- Expect a warm welcome and friendly faces to help you find your way.

- Dress is casual to business casual. Some wear jeans, others wear dress clothes. Wear what helps you feel comfortable and respectful.
Our assemblies are simple, focused, and centered on God. A typical Sunday includes:
- Singing – We sing acapella (without instruments), lifting our voices together in praise.
- Prayer – Several prayers are offered throughout the service, thanking God and seeking His guidance.
- Scripture Reading – God’s Word is read aloud to shape and guide our worship.
- Sermon – A biblical, practical message designed to help us grow in faith and live as followers of Jesus.
- Communion (Lord’s Supper) – Every Sunday, we remember Christ’s sacrifice by sharing bread and cup, following the example of the early church.
- Offering – Members contribute to the work of the church. Visitors are not expected or pressured to give — your presence is the gift we value most.
- Bible classes for children and youth are offered during the 9:30 AM Bible class hour.
- For parents with infants or toddlers, space is available if you need to step out with your child.
- Children are always welcome in the worship assembly — we’re glad to have them with us!
- First Sunday Potluck – On the first Sunday of every month, we share a potluck meal (a meal where everyone brings a dish to share). It’s a relaxed time to eat together, meet people, and build community. If you’re visiting on a first Sunday, don’t worry about bringing anything — you are our guest, and we simply want you to stay and enjoy the meal with us.
- Fifth Sunday Prayer Service – When a month has five Sundays, we dedicate the morning assembly to prayer. Instead of a formal sermon, we spend extended time in community-guided prayer for one another, our neighbors, and the world.
- You won’t be singled out or asked to introduce yourself publicly.
- You won’t be pressured to give money.
- You’re free to simply observe or participate as you feel comfortable.

Curious
About God
but Unsure
About
Church?
That’s completely okay — and more common than you might think. Many people are curious about God, Jesus, the Bible, or faith, but they have questions, doubts, or past experiences that make them hesitant about church. If that’s where you are right now, you’re in a safe and welcome place.
There is no pressure here. You don’t need to believe anything specific, attend services, or have everything figured out. We simply want to listen, answer honestly, and help you explore at your own pace.
