So
you're thinking about visiting with us at Faith United Church? Great! We
would love to meet you in person. We know that visiting a new place can be
a little intimidating and we want to share some information with you to
help you and your family have a good visit.
WHAT
KIND OF CHURCH
IS THIS?
Sometimes we wonder ourselves! Just kidding...
That's usually the first question people ask when getting ready to visit a
church. Faith United is first and foremost a CHRISTIAN Church. We're
made up of people who have accepted Jesus Chist as their Savior.
Secondly, we are a Baptist Church, but please don't let that scare
you! We are a Baptist Church simply because the Ordinance of Baptism
is part of the way we do things. Baptism is
the
ceremony of immersing a person who has
received Jesus Christ as their Savior in water. It symbolizes the
spiritual cleansing that we believe Jesus gives us at the moment of
Salvation.

HOW
DO PEOPLE DRESS?
Yep, that's usually the second question people ask when getting
ready to visit a church. We completely understand! Visiting a new
place is weird enough without sticking out because you're not
dressed the way everyone else is. Relax. That's not going to happen
at Faith United.
When we say, "come as you are," we really mean it! We encourage people to
dress in the way they are most comfortable. For some, this means a suit
and a tie,
while others are more inclined to wear jeans and a t-shirt. While we ask
that folks dress modestly and in good taste, whatever style you choose is
completely up to you. If we had a dress code it would be: please
wear clothes.
WHAT STYLE IS THE
WORSHIP SERVICE?
There it is - the third most commonly asked question. In answering this,
we're not trying to be cute or tricky, but we really like to avoid categories when it comes to
the way we Worship at Faith United Church. We have a live band and a lot
of Sundays our music is loud and full of energy. Other Sundays we dig into
our heritage and use some of the old-school hymns of the Church. Sometimes
we mix styles, or use updated versions of old songs. We also use a lot of
prayer, Scripture reading, video, PowerPoint, and anything else we can
think of to help us Worship in a way that we hope honors Jesus Christ.
HOW
LONG IS THE SERVICE?
Our Worship Celebration begins about 11:00am and concludes by 12:15pm on
most Sundays.
WHAT ABOUT THE SERMON?
Pastor Steve's sermons are expository in style, which simply means he lets
the Bible speak for itself, and uses a variety of stories, video clips,
and other multi-sensory experiences to apply the truth to modern life.
They are usually about 30 minutes in length and less painful than a root
canal..

WHAT
ABOUT MY KIDS?
We are very pleased to offer "The Fish & Loaf Co.," a high-energy,
kid-friendly, age-appropriate time of Children's Worship for those age 4 -
grade 5. Your kids will start out in Worship with the rest of us and then
have the option of going to F & L Co., about halfway through.
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE - Your child's participation in this ministry is completely optional and
up to you as parents. Of course they are welcome to take part, but if they want to stay in Worship with you, that's
just fine with us!
