A teacher or nursery worker will collect the information needed for your child. The person leaving the child is the only person permitted to pick up that child after the service. Everyone serving in children’s ministries must pass a thorough background check.

What should I expect during the service?

Visitors may sit anywhere in the auditorium. Services generally include a choir special, prayer, congregational singing from hymnbooks, special music, preaching, and an old-fashioned altar call.

There is no offering time during the service, and visitors are not expected to give.

During announcements, visitors are welcomed with a simple request to raise a hand. They receive a visitor’s pack containing a visitor card, which we ask them to complete and return before leaving.
