| What To Expect |
Whether you've been attending for a while, or are just thinking about visiting Faith Bible Church, we're glad to have you join us! Here is a brief glimpse into what you’ll experience on an average Sunday at Faith:-Before the Service-Take Advantage of Our Nursery Facility: The purpose of “Sonfun Playhouse” Nursery, is to provide a safe, fun-filled place, where parents feel confident leaving their little ones, with the vision that they can then enjoy their own time of distraction free worship and fellowship! We’ve put a lot of effort into creating a quality nursery facility, so please, take advantage of the caring volunteers that are there to help you have a more relaxed morning. Get settled:At Faith Bible Church, you'll notice a casual atmosphere, and people of all ages and walks of life. Don’t worry about meeting a particular dress code. On any given Sunday, you’ll notice people dressed casually in jeans, while some wear ties and dress shirts. Coffee and donuts are always available in the foyer, so help yourself before heading in for the service. An usher will give you a program, which includes church announcements and a note-taking sheet for the message. They can then direct you to seats in the worship center - or, you may sit wherever you feel comfortable. -During the Service-Each Sunday morning service at Faith starts at 11am and is usually done between 12:00 and 12:15. Each service consists of a time for worship through singing, announcements of upcoming events, and a relevant message from God’s Word. Worshiping through Music:It is our desire that through the music at Faith, each individual, whatever their age or walk of life, will be able to connect with God in their own intimate way, and feel compelled to worship at a deeper level through the songs selected. Because of this, we strive to put together a fresh blend of the newest worship songs, as well as timeless hymns. Everyone worships in his or her own unique way - for many, that means singing and clapping along, and for others it means quietly reflecting on the words. A typical week at Faith will include a line-up of songs such as: “Indescribable” by Chris Tomlin and “One Way” by Hillsong United, as well as hymns such as: “Come Thou Fount” and “A Might Fortress.” Offering:Each week, regular attenders give financially to help support the needs of the church. As a guest, please do not feel obligated to give. This is an act of worship for our regular attenders, thanking God for the blessings He has given and acknowledging His control in their lives. Message:Every Sunday, our senior pastor gives a relevant, straightforward message that is based on Scripture, and is designed to be helpful in your everyday life. Many past messages are available on CD, as well as here on our website. These messages are usually 20-30 min. and will help you develop a growing, vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ, and apply biblical teaching to your own life. Communion:Every first Sunday of the month we celebrate communion together. Anyone can participate in this time of reflection and prayer - as long they've made the decision to follow Jesus Christ. The juice and bread that we share represent the life he gave up so that our sins could be forgiven. Kids Programming:At a designated point in each morning service, kids age 4 through grade 4 have the opportunity to head off to kid’s church at “Sonfun Cove” where they can enjoy their own age appropriate time in God’s Word. This time usually consists of music, a Bible story and craft or game.
-After the Service-Meet with a Church Leader:If for any reason after the service you would like to talk with someone about a question, spend time in prayer, or ask for guidance, our pastors and other church leaders are always available. Please do not hesitate if you would like to meet with someone about a particular need. Pick Up Your Kids:If you’ve checked an infant into the nursery, or had a child participate in kid’s church, make sure to pick them up after the service! Have a Cup of Coffee:There are always coffee and donuts in the foyer after the service, so grab a cup, and spend some time getting to know other people while enjoying the fellowship! BeyondGet more involved:Faith Bible Church provides a wide range of opportunities for attenders and their children to move beyond weekend services, and into deeper, more meaningful relationships with Jesus Christ and others. To find ways to get more involved, read the announcements in the weekly bulletin, talk to a pastor or other church leader, attend a small group, or browse this website! |
