What Can I Expect?
How long is a service?
In total, a First Church service is about 60 minutes in length. Services begin with the band leading the church in music - song lyrics are projected onto the screens so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. After the music portion of service is complete, one of our pastors will come out to share an encouraging and hope-filled message about Jesus.
Upon Arrival:
When you turn in the driveway parking is around the back of the building. If you need handicap access or assistance pull under the portico and someone will be there to assist you.
The Entrance and Welcome signs are well marked. Upon entrance you will be greeted and given information and directions regarding the service and children's ministries.
Our Worship Service:
- Dress is casual. We believe who you are on the inside is much more important than what is on the outside.
- An usher will hand you a bulletin with a Connection card inserted inside. This card is filled out and dropped in the offering plate at the end of the service. Of course filling out the card is optional.
- Our ushers will assist you with seating if needed.
- Our service usually lasts from 60 - 75 minutes.
- Our worship style is blended. We sing hymns with the piano and organ and we use contemporary music as well.
- Our pastor shares a brief children's story during the service with children ages 5-12. After the story the children are dismissed to children's church.
- Our pastor delivers a biblical message with relevance to everyday life.
- An offering is taken up to conclude the service. Guests are not expected to participate.
