We Saved You
a Seat.
First time? We get it. Visiting a new church can be confusing. This page takes the guesswork out of Sunday — so you can just show up and see what we're about.
A Word
before you come.
You don't have to know the right words, dress a certain way, or have your life figured out. All you need to do is show up. Watch this short video from Pastor Nate — and then come find out for yourself.
Here's What Sunday Looks Like
If you're not sure what to do when you pull into the parking lot, here's what actually happens — step by step.
Arrival & Parking
There's parking directly in front and along the side of the building. Look for a greeter near the entrance — they're easy to spot and expecting you. Aim to arrive 5–10 minutes early if it's your first time.
You'll Be Welcomed
Someone will meet you at the door. No pressure, no obligation — just a real hello. If you let us know you're coming ahead of time, we'll have someone ready to greet you by name.
Find a Seat
Walk into the sanctuary and find a spot that feels comfortable. The room isn't huge, but it's welcoming. Sit wherever you'd like.
The Service
Services run about 75 minutes. You'll experience contemporary worship music, a time of prayer, and a Bible-centered message from Pastor Nate. There's no dress code — come as you are. You won't be asked to introduce yourself or give money.
After the Service
Stick around for a few minutes. Pastor Nate and the team hang around to talk, answer questions, and just say hi. If you have questions, that's the best time to ask.
What Happens
on Sunday.
We start by greeting everyone — a brief social time before things kick off. Then our worship team leads us through three or four songs together. From there, Pastor Nate teaches for 40 to 45 minutes, drawn directly from Scripture and worked through verse by verse. We close with one final song. On the first Sunday of every month we celebrate Communion together — all are welcome at the table.
"You don't have to know the songs. You don't have to put anything in the plate. You don't have to have anything figured out before you walk in. Just come — and see what God might do with that."
Your Kids Are
Welcome Here.
We know the first question parents ask isn't about the sermon — it's "Will my kids be okay?" The answer is yes. Kids and youth programming runs during the 11:00 AM service, and your children will be in a safe, engaging environment while you're in the sanctuary.
How Check-in Works
When you arrive, head to the kids' check-in area near the entrance. A volunteer will walk you through registration on your first visit — it takes just a few minutes. You'll receive a security tag that matches your child's name tag, used for pick-up at the end of service.

Safety

Questions We
Get a Lot.
No such thing as a dumb question here. These are the ones people are usually thinking but don't want to ask.
Do I have to be a Christian to come?
Will I be asked to give money?
What should I wear?
Will I be asked to introduce myself or stand up?
How long is the service?
What if I have more questions before I come?
Let Us Know
you're coming.
You don't have to fill this out — but if you do, we'll have someone ready to welcome you by name. It makes a difference.
Come see for
yourself.
Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, there's a warm welcome waiting.
