What can I expect as a new visitor?

We have greeters at the front door who greet everyone, not just visitors. You will notice that this church is made up of people of every age group and walk of life. It is a reflection of our diverse city and world. You’ll get a hello at the door, and an invitation to receive a “Gift Bag” especially for our new guests. Sundays include classes for all ages at 9:00a and worship at 10:15a.  You will be warmly received but not singled out in an uncomfortable way. Every Sunday there is an informal meet and greet with a member of the  Pastoral Staff for newcomers.
