What to Expect
Our members are a mix of all ages. People tend to wear their Sunday best, but we don't have a dress code. You're likely to see an Elder in a suit and tie and a Deacon in shorts and a T-Shirt. Ladies wear a mix of dresses, skirts, shorts, and pants. As long as you are dressed respectfully, you are welcome as you are.
A large portion of our people start with Sunday School and stay for the entire service, including Morning Worship. We do have several who only attend one or the other, which is no problem with us. A typical Sunday service will end around noon.
Below you will see a basic guideline for what to expect for each service. Keep in mind that we prioritize obedience to The Lord and freedom in a service, so these may change from service to service. The altar is always open if you ever need some prayer. You won't be alone. Many people will be happy to pray with you.
Sunday School
9:45am
The service starts in the sanctuary and we disperse to our classes from there. We have a Sunday School class for every age group from Pre-school and up. The classes have curriculum based on their ages. High School and below use the Answers in Genesis program. The older classes use a curriculum created by our pastor, Jim Legg. See the link below for the current curriculum.
Morning Worship
10:45am
At this time, we begin the full congregational portion of the service. This will be led by one of the elders of the church.
This service will begin with a couple songs performed by our youngest members. We will then have a congregational gospel hymn or two and a few minutes to shake hands and connect. Expect a corporate prayer at some point. Offering will be taken up with a collection plate passed around as well as the option to give online through our church app or PayPal.
From there, our Praise Team will lead us in a few contemporary worship songs. We are blessed with many talented individuals who practice twice a week to lead us in Worship. At the conclusion of Worship, children 12 years old and younger are dismissed to the Fellowship Hall where we have a great team who will minister to them at a level they can more easily understand.
The speaker will be invited to begin at this point. Normally, our wonderful Pastor Jim will give the message, but we also have a great number of church members who could be speaking as well. You can find this schedule at the link below, but you will not be disappointed with any of the speakers.
The service will be concluded with a prayer and an invitation to come to the Bancroft Park Gazebo at 5:30pm for a community prayer for the town.
