What to Expect on a Sunday morning

First, come as you are! You'll find some wearing suits and some in shorts and tee shirts. Absolutely no judgement here!

When you first arrive, you'll be greeted by a few friendly faces ready to welcome you and point you in any direction you might need to go.

Grab some coffee and chat in the lobby before heading into the auditorium; front, back, middle, left or right - don't worry, there's no wrong seating choice!

Did you come with kids up through 6th grade? Talk to a Welcome Team member and they’ll help you and your family get connected with our BLAST Kids Ministry or Nursery before heading into our main worship space.

At the start there will be a few announcements, prayer, then we'll praise God by singing together led by a team of rotating volunteer instrumentalists and vocalists.

One of our Teaching Team members, which includes a couple Elders, our Lead Pastor, and a few others, will speak for about 35-40 minutes. They will speak from The Bible, and will always include the Good News of God's grace and love through Jesus which we call The Gospel.

Before the message ends we’ll have a couple points of personal application so we can take God's Word to heart and put into action.

If it's the fourth Sunday of the month we'll celebrate Communion together. We'll do our best to explain everything as we go so you can participate if you choose.

Just before ending the service we'll sing one final song, then a leader will share how you can respond in a variety of ways, and dismiss us to end the service.

Feel free to stick around and chat with others who came this morning; or come to the front and talk to the speaker, Pastor, Elder, or someone else in leadership.

After we dismiss; if you dropped your child off at BLAST Kids Ministry, you'll be able to go pick them up from their Small Group room with the tag you received when you checked them in.

Someone will reach out to say “hi” later in the week if you fill out a Connect Card while you’re with us, or before you arrived. No pressure!
We'd just love the chance to get to know you.
