We know it's not easy visiting a church for the first time. You may be asking yourself questions such as: Am I really welcome? Will I be conspicuous? How do I dress? Will my kids like it? Will they ask me for money? Am I welcome if I am not sure I believe? We want your visit to be stress free and fun, so here is a quick overview of what to expect at our church:
Arriving
Follow Princeton Road all the way to the end and then follow the drive around to park behind the building. The main lobby entrance is the first one you'll come by. If you're looking for La Vina (spanish speaking Vineyard service), go in the second (east) entrance. There will be someone in the lobby to welcome you and answer any questions you may have about restrooms, where to check in kids, etc. Wear whatever you like (jeans are the average) and everyone is welcome!
Coffee/Tea/Water/Snacks
To your left as you walk in you’ll see our café area. We offer free gourmet coffee or tea. Once you've poured your coffee, feel free to take it to your seat. We're OK with that.
Kids
Kids are always welcome, but our best kids ministry is available during our 11am service (though you're certainly welcome to keep them with you if you or they prefer!). We have developed a good system for security so you will know that your kids are safe and well cared for.
Worship Service
We have two services with meaningful, yet high-energy worship, followed by a welcome and prayer. Our lead pastor, Nathaniel Sorensen, will give a message that is based on the Bible and relevant to daily life. The teaching will last about 30-35 minutes and we generally end the service with prayer and a song. The whole service is about 75 minutes. Our normal service times are at 9:15am and 11:00am.
The music at Vineyard has a contemporary/modern feel (drums, guitars, keyboard, and vocalists.) You will enjoy learning new songs together blended with some familiar favorites.
As soon as we dismiss, you can pick up your kids from their classrooms then stick around, enjoy some more coffee if you’d like and get to know some people!
