No one is going to single you out or ask you to stand up and give your name. So relax... grab a cup of coffee and a donut on the patio... make some new friends or mingle with those you know... and then join us in the Sanctuary for our services.

Here is what a typical service might look like…

1. Music
For the first 20 minutes or so, we’ll sing some simple songs to God. Feel free to sing along or just enjoy the music from our worship leaders and musicians. Some people like to stand the entire time, and others like to sit. Just be comfortable and feel free to be yourself!

2. Welcome and Community
We’ll briefly tell you about a few things happening around here and then give you an opportunity to make some new friends.

3. Prayer
No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, God is waiting for you, ready to listen to you hurt, pain, passion, and desires. During our prayer time, you will find warm and caring individuals who desire to pray with you and for you at the front of the Auditorium. Please feel free to come forward at any point of our prayer time, and stay as long as you'd like.

3. Giving
For those who value the mission of this place and are learning to give, this is a time to give back to God a portion of what He’s given to us.

4. Message
Pastor Ray will give a 25 to 30 minute message about applying God’s Truth to life’s challenges. We often use drama, video or life stories (testimonies) as part of our service.

5. Closing
A short closing prayer and that’s it. If you like, individual prayer is offered at the front of the Auditorium after every Celebration (service). Feel free to connect with others after the service, check out the bookstore, or stop by a patio table if you have any questions.
