As our guest we want you to feel at home.  It's hard to visit a new and strange church for the first time.  Our hospitality team would love to assist you and help you feel comfortable when you worship with us.  The following will help you know what to expect when you visit us on a Sunday morning.  Sunday School begins at 9:30am and our Worship Celebration begins at 10:30am.

Where to Park We have two parking lots--one one the west side of the building and one in front to the south of the church.  We have guest parking in the lot in front of the church.  It is best to park there and enter the building through the main entrance on that side of the building.  There you will find a welcome center and friendly folks with nametags who want to help. 

Children  We have classes and activities for children and youth during the Sunday School and Worship times.  Children who are 6th grade or older worship in the sanctuary with the adults.  Younger children are invited to attend Children's Church.  Our hospitality team will show you where that is.  Just ask.  For infants and toddlers, we have a nursery staffed by loving folks who have been screened and are fully qualified to care for your children.  You will be given a pager in case the nursery staff needs to get hold of you.  You are more than welcome to have your children in the sanctuary during church if you desire.

What to Wear  We have no dress code at First Church of Christ and invite you to wear whatever you are comfortable in.  The only "requirement" we have is modesty.  You will see folks wearing jeans, suits, shorts (in the summer), ties, casual dress, etc.  The point is that you should not worry about dress or let that deter you from worshipping at First Church of Christ!

Worship  On any given Sunday our worship varies.  We are a congregation comprised of all different ages, thus we try to achieve a balanced blended music style.  Some Sundays we will sing mostly hymns accompanied by a piano.  Other Sundays we will have a praise band and sing many newer worship songs.  Sometimes each service will contain a mixture.  We also utilize video in our worship service and preaching.  We believe in the importance of communion and take communion every Sunday.  You do not have to be a member to partake of the Lord's Supper (communion).  All are welcome.  Our particular belief is that participation in communion is for those who are followers of Jesus Christ.

The Offering  In every worship service we collect an offering as an act of obedience and worship.  We believe strongly in the biblical mandate to give generously.  Thus, it is addressed often in sermons.  However . . . as our guest we do not want you to feel compelled to give during the offering.  We want our service to be a gift to you.  So please don't feel awkward about not giving if you don't want to. 

These are just a few questions you might have.  If you have any questions not addressed here, please don't hesitate to call the church at 989.725-5039.  We look forward to worshipping with you!
