YOUTH + KIDS
YOUTH (AGES 11-16): The youth have a special class after worship that meets next door- after worship, head out the back door turn left into our other building and you will see them there!
KIDS (AGES 4-10): After worship we release kids ages 4-10 to Kids Ministry, where they will participate in an interactive lesson that involves scripture, discussion, games, and crafts. We have an electronic check-in station beside the coffee station in the back and there is always a Kids Ministry worker to assist you with any questions. Our teachers will stand with large signs showing which class the children can go to follow them to the right room after worship!
TODDLERS (AGES 1-3): We have a toddler-friendly program for our littles ones (ages 1-3) in the far back room on the right behind the main worship area, just before the back door. This class is designed to help toddlers unite and delight in God’s presence and learn foundational truths of the Word. Parents are welcome to stay for the first few times your child attends, but we encourage you to be refreshed in the main service thereafter!
BABIES (under 1): We have a small rooms available for nursing moms in front of the toddler room, but there is currently no designated classroom space for little ones under 1 year old. Please feel free to bring your child with you to service and care for them however you most feel comfortable!
SUNDAY WORSHIP CULTURE
For those new, please feel welcome to come however you are! As far as attire, most dress however they feel, and generally casual! We are a complete mix of people of all ages, cultures, and spiritual backgrounds. We start worship at 10 am and the children stay with their parents during the first 15 minutes or so of worship.
Messages
After the first time of worship, we release the kids to children’s ministry, have a few announcements and perhaps a testimony of what God is doing in our community, and then we have a 30-40 minute message that is always rooted in Scripture, applied in our culture, and meant to be practiced in our community for our spiritual formation.
We then typically respond to the message in worship for another 15-20 minutes, and always give a place to respond in prayer- whether you’d like to come forward and receive ministry or pray/worship at your seat.
The service typically lasts approximately 90 minutes and then we give space for everyone to “linger”… you can leave if you need, or stay and receive ministry, pray, or chat over coffee!
Parents
We do have a room behind the worship hall next to the bathrooms for toddlers to play if you feel more comfortable there, but in general you will see families all over the place, some with strollers, others with little ones coloring, and we encourage kids to come to the front and worship with their parents. We simply ask parents to keep kids near you so our space doesn’t become a playground- haha!
Holy Spirit-led Ministry
We try to make space during worship to respond uniquely to the Holy Spirit- that may simply be to pray together, other times we might minister to a specific area that feels highlighted, or have someone share a testimony, scripture or picture God showed them. The value we carry is that our worship is never a structured performance, but a response to God’s Presence among us!
PRAYER AFTER SERVICE
Regardless of where you are at, we always make a space for people to come forward and receive prayer or ministry for anything they are going through at the end of the service- whether you simply want some encouragement, healing in your body, or want to open your life to God, we have a team ready & eager to encourage & pray with you!
AFTER SERVICE/VISITORS
After service, please stay, grab a coffee or tea, and connect with us! Visitors please see the welcome table at entrance where we have a gift for you & you can fill out a connection card if you’d like to get connected or get more info to our community!
