What should I expect when I visit the church of Christ?
When you visit the church of Christ...

What will be expected of me?
Nothing at all! You are welcome to participate, but don't feel obligated to. If you choose, you may just observe. We simply hope that you see God's love and power at work in His church.

What kind of people will I find in the church of Christ?
As in any group, you'll find a whole range of people. You will find traditionalists--and you'll find those who prefer anything new over everything old. You'll find those who mistake our traditions for absolute truth and get pretty bent out of shape when those traditions are tampered with. You'll find legalists and liberals--and a lot of people in between.
     You'll find happy people--and grouchy people. Friendly people--and unfriendly people. Loving people--and cantankerous people. People who are learning--and people who "already know everything."
     You get the picture. We're a diverse group, coming from varied backgrounds, and at different stages of knowledge adn spiritual growth. We don't know everything. We don't do everything right. We don't always treat each other as we should. We haven't arrived--we're just on the journey.
     But, you see, we were not brought together by any illusion of our perfection or righteousness. We were brought together by our recognition that we are sinners in need of the cleansing blood of Jesus.(1) That's the reason we can worship together, stick together, and--with God's power--accomplish some things that make a difference.
     You won't have to look very far to find our failures. But, bottom line, you will find people who love Jesus and love the Bible.

Where should I sit?
There will be rows of pews for all worshipers, but there are no reserved seats. So feel free to sit anywhere you choose.

Will there be a special message or class for my children?
We have classes for all ages. We would love to have you come be a part of our Bible classes on Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. and Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m.
