When trying something new, we want to know what we’re getting into. The same is true of a new worship experience.

If you don’t find the answers to your questions below, please contact us by clicking here.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR WORSHIP SERVICES

Our Sunday worship services begins at 10:30 AM and usually last about an hour. There’s an opportunity for fellowship beforehand in the lobby area starting just after Sunday School at 10:00.
The message is always delivered with the intention of speaking the truth about God, and supporting and inspiring us in our journey of faith as individuals and as the body of Christ. The message is always Scripturally-based and applicable to our lives, often incorporating real-life stories and even humor.

Just as Jesus accepted everyone who came to Him, regardless of how they were dressed, so does Christ Church! Some folks wear dresses and suits, while others prefer jeans and t-shirts, and all styles in between. We want you to feel comfortable being you, so come as you are.
You can sit anywhere you like! There are no assigned seats at Christ Church. We invite you to sit wherever you feel most comfortable.
Children are always welcome in worship, however sometimes kids aren’t ready to absorb or participate in the full worship experience. Childcare is available during each service, as are educational opportunities.
Not at all! We all attend worship seeking Jesus Christ in a variety of ways. Some of us are seeking to begin a relationship with Him. Some us of are seeking to nurture our faith. Some of us are seeking to be inspired to action by the love of Christ. And some of us are seeking the peace and comfort that only Jesus can provide. All you need to do is respond to what draws you to worship, and then simply receive what He has in store for you.
There are points in the service when everyone collectively will be invited to stand, such as for prayer or to sing. We do not kneel, however the altar is available for anyone who wishes to kneel in prayer. Time is set aside at each service when everyone who wishes to has the opportunity to share praises or concerns. No one is ever required or pressured to speak, stand, or kneel at any time.
We celebrate Communion once per month, usually on the first Sunday of the month. Everyone is welcome to participate in Communion at Christ Church, but at the same time, no one is required to participate. If you are unable to walk to the altar (or if you would prefer not to), we will bring the elements to you in your seat. We always provide gluten-free elements for those who have allergies.
Each service includes the opportunity for an offering, which we regard as a time of self-dedication to God and to support the work of the Church. Whether or not you make an offering, and how much you give, is between you and God. Most members give according to a commitment they’ve made. We never ask or require visitors to make an offering.
Of course! You are welcome to visit as little or as often as you wish. Our hope is that you will come as often as you can and that you will feel called to become a member. Most of our members find that the more often they attend worship, the more they grow in their relationship with Christ.
