We understand that visiting a church for the first time can be intimidating. We want to make things as comfortable as possible for you when you join us, so we put together this guide of what you can expect.
When You Arrive
You'll be greeted by a friendly face at the door. The person greeting you will be wearing a lanyard and a name tag. Feel free to ask them anything you want. They are here to help!
If you have children we offer age-appropriate ministry for them to make sure that they hear about Jesus in language that they can understand! For more info on our children's ministry, Restore Kids, you can go to this page, or go here for information on what you and your kids can expect during worship.
At any time, we have coffee and tea available upstairs across from the sanctuary.
The Service
We like to keep things simple. We'll sing songs focused on Jesus led by our band. The music is on the loud side because we want you to feel comfortable singing at the top of your lungs, and without worry that your neighbor is listening to you! We hope that this time of singing is participatory because we pick songs that we think are going to be worth getting "stuck in your head" throughout the week!
After a time of singing, we welcome one another, and talk about the offering. We see our offering as an act of worship, as we, members of Restore, give back to God a portion of all that he's given to us. If that's new or strange to you, please feel no obligation to give. We're just glad you're here with us!
After the offering we'll have a time of preaching. The message is biblically based and seeks to make Jesus the hero–because He is! (And please feel free to check out some sermons before you come. Click here for a list of available sermons.)
Sacraments
At Restore, we celebrate two sacraments: baptism and communion. We take communion together on the first Sunday of the month, and Baptisms happen on a scheduled basis. Communion is celebrated by inviting the congregation to come forward to take the bread and the juice, and then we take it together. We invite everyone who understand the significance of Jesus life, death, and resurrection to come forward and partake in communion.
