What to Expect
You will notice that everyone is dressed comfortably, most often quite casually. There will be plenty of coffee to wake you up and snacks that will fuel you for what we hope will be an honest, hope-filled, fun time to encounter God.
After an opening song of worship led by our band, our pastor will begin to speak. The messages, we believe, will be relevant and practical to your everyday life. After the sermon, you’ll have the opportunity to receive further prayer from a team of people trained in praying for people.
Those who don’t ask for prayer will enter into a time of worship. Vineyard music is known for being contemporary and dynamic, so, for instance, we have a band rather than a choir and an organ. Worship is a personal — and corporate — time for us to interact with God, and we hope that you will feel the freedom to sing along, sit quietly, or even dance! Towards the end of service, we’ll often take communion and we’ll also take an offering, though we really hope that our visitors won’t give, but will regard themselves as our guests.
We hope you’ll stop by for a visit and, if you do, that we’ll have a chance to meet and talk some. And, one way or another, we hope you find a place to connect with God that will work well for you!
