What to expect when visiting
"We love Him because He first loved us." (1 John 4:9-10)
Do I have to be
a member to participate or a Presbyterian to join?
All persons are welcome to participate in the life and worship of this
church. Most of our current membership came from other denominational
backgrounds. So in a sense we might say that most of our members were
not “born Presbyterians” but “chose
Presbyterianism”. We would encourage seekers to
visit, to get involved through volunteer service and learning
opportunities before making a membership commitment.
For ways to become involved beyond Sunday morning worship, check out Ways To Serve.
Do I have to be a member
to take Communion?
No. Presbyterian’s acknowledge that the communion table and
elements belong to God, not to the church. When we take
communion, as we do on the first Sunday of each month, we are united
with the church in every place, join with all the faithful in offering
thanksgiving to the triune God, renew the vows taken at baptism and
commit ourselves afresh to love and serve God, one another and our
neighbors in the world.
What about my kids (or
grandkids)?
Communion for children is at the discretion of the parent or acting
parent. Children are an integral part of our
church. We offer a nursery for chidren under age 5 during the
Worship hour, and “Children’s Church” for the older kids, and of
course, parents who wish their children to experience the worship hour
in the sanctuary are welcome to keep their children with
them. If children become restless or tired, they can be taken
to the
nursery, and will receive loving care from our nursery team.
