Here's what you can expect...
1. A Friendly Welcome!
Because we believe in a God who loves people, we value every person that we meet. You will most probably be welcomed by one of our family members and you will possibly be introduced to a few others. We try not to overwhelm our guests with too much public attention (you can relax!), but we would like to make sure that you have a good time and get to meet a few of our "family members."
2. Passionate Worship!
The first and greatest commandment is to LOVE GOD with all our heart, mind, soul and strength! One of the most direct ways of expressing our love for God is by our worship. We believe that worship is more than just singing religious songs, but a time to be passionate and intimate with our God. We have a contemporary band with a guitar, an electric, a bass, some drums and sometimes a few other instruments. Most people will sing out loud, some will lift their hands, occasionally we will shout or dance and at times some may kneel before God.
We invite you to just relax and be yourself! You will not be expected to do anything that you are not comfortable with and we will not pressurize you in any way. We encourage each person to worship God from their hearts, without judging anyone by external measures.
3. The Presence of God!
God wants to meet with you and make Himself real to you. Whenever we meet together, we expect to meet with Him in a personal and powerful way. We believe in the operation of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit by which people receive salvation, physical & emotional healing, restoration and various other experiences of God's tangible presence. We love seeing God change people's lives and we are constantly amazed at the great things that He does amongst His people!
We encourage you to open your heart to God at a personal level and allow Him in to begin a great and wonderful work in your life!
4. The Word of God!
Our goal is to share the Word of God in a way that is relevant and applicable, so that it can change people's lives. Many people today think that the Bible is an outdated history book which has no relevance for mankind in the 21st century. How sad! We believe that the Bible is the timeless Word of the eternal God, and that it has the power to open your heart to God so that He can change your life. God reaches out to us through His Word so that we can know Him.
We encourage you to open your heart to God's truth, revealed through his Word as it is shared with you in our service.
5. Connecting Time!
After our services we provide coffee and snacks for everyone! Once people have become a part of the family, this is as much a part of our service as the worship and the teaching. This is a part of what the Bible calls "the fellowship of believers." It is an opportunity for people to "catch up," to make new connections and to share with others. While everyone is free to leave straight after the service, most people do enjoy lingering for a while, enjoying a cup of coffee, a snack and a few moments with old and new friends.
We invite you to meet a few people after our service and to become a "part of the family" by enjoying our connecting time with us.
