Visitor's Frequently Asked Questions


What kind of service is it?

It is a "traditional" service using a mix of Bible readings, sermon, hymns and songs with organ and piano and choir, announcements, prayer requests, etc. There is a special "Children's Message" every service and other special items as circumstances and seasons warrant.

Do I need to dress up?

No. Some people wear suits, ties, and dresses. Others dress casually in sport shirts and slacks or jeans. Please dress as you feel comfortable.

Do I need to make an offering?

No. We do pass an offering plate but no one is required to make an offering. We encourage giving if the Spirit of the Lord has moved you to do so as a "cheerful giver".

Do I need to stand and speak?

No. We do ask those who are able in the congregation to stand at times as we sing and pray together, but you will not be required to speak to the congregation by yourself.
