What should I expect at a worship service?
A Warm Welcome
You will be welcomed by a greeter at the door to help you with any questions you might have. You are welcome to meet people or go straight to a seat before the service begins.
You can fill out a Welcome Card or briefly introduce yourself during the service, but both are optional.
Worship Service
God is worshiped through songs, prayer, Scripture reading, and the sermon. The service also celebrates what God is doing in the church community.
The worship service is normally around an hour and a half long. It is in English, with simultaneous Japanese interpretation available through headsets.
Come as you are and worship with us!
