WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

In total, a LIFE ON MAIN church service is about 75-90 minutes in length. When you arrive, you will enter through the door with a "WELCOME HOME" sign next to it. You will enter into the fellowship hall. Coffee can be found straight ahead once you enter. You will be met by someone at the door who will hand you a bulletin and a gift bag. They can also answer any questions you may have. You are invited to grab complimentary coffee, hot cocoa, or tea, sit down at the table and enjoy some good conversation. If you need a restroom, they can be found through the doors at the far end of the fellowship hall. Signage will point the way.

Before the service begins in the main sanctuary, announcement slides are played on the screen. As service time gets closer, some live instrumental music will be played on the cello and/or piano. Our music leader will then welcome people and lead us in a few songs. The lyrics for all songs are projected on the movie screen, but song books can be used for some of the older traditional hymns if people would like. Feel free to sing along and/or engage with the worship music however you feel comfortable. Some people just sing, while others have been known to kneel or raise hands to the Lord as they feel inclined.

After the music portion of service is complete, one of our pastors lead in a prayer. We then read a portion of scripture together, alternating between the reader up front and the congregation. Another pastor shares a biblically-based word of encouragement known as the "God Moment" - a reading in the first person as though God Himself was saying it. After this, announcements and upcoming events are shared.

To round out our time together, the lead pastor, one of our other pastors, or a special speaker shares from the Bible an encouraging and hope-filled message about the Lord Jesus and the Christian life to help us mature spiritually. We close with a final song and a prayer.

There is a foyer through the back doors of the sanctuary where an information table and our church library are located. You are welcome to the material that is there.

As a special note, if you arrive after 11 AM, the outside door to the fellowship area will be locked for security reasons. Please utilize the large double doors on the front of the main church building. This will bring you in through the foyer, allowing you to enter from the back of the sanctuary after the service starts, rather than the front of the sanctuary by the platform, for your benefit.

WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?

We believe that kids should look forward to coming to church, and we want to make that a priority. We provide a Bible-based, Christ-centered, age-appropriate curriculum that takes place during our worship gathering. They do not have to participate in our children's program if they would rather sit in the service, but it is an option for them.

In addition to providing an enjoyable time for them, we also prioritize your children's safety. All of our children's workers have undergone background checks and completed a training program focusing on child safety. We also have trained covert security on the premises to ensure the safety of everyone who attends. We have a minimum of two workers with the children. The kids are never left by themselves. They are even escorted to bathroom visits. There is a check-in procedure, so we encourage parents to arrive 5 minutes early to sign their children in.

We have a nursery available for infants and toddlers. Workers are available to care for your child. We understand that leaving your little one in the care of strangers can cause anxiety. For your peace of mind, there is a window in the nursery room door, should a parent want to check up on their child.
