What to expect

This page has been created so you can let people know what to expect when they visit your church.

Here are 4 ideas to help you get started:

How long is the service? It’s nice to know how long a service typically runs so people can plan accordingly.
What about kids? Visitors with children like to know what to do when they first walk in—should they head to the kid’s classrooms or bring them into the main service? Also, they want to know what kind of care their child will be receiving.
What’s the service like? Let people know the style of music, whether the service is formal or informal, and other details so they know what to expect. Try to make these details reflect the mission and values of your church.
How do people normally dress? People feel more comfortable in a new place when they don’t feel like they stand out.

First time visiting us?

Whether you have been a Christ follower for a long time or you are just testing the waters, we are excited to have you join us. Not sure what to expect? Here are a few things that will answer those questions.

Dress

Come as you are. Most folks dress casual but some people dress up. You'll see anything from shorts and jeans to dresses and shirts and ties. We care more about you as a person than what you have on. You're welcomed here no matter what threads you have.

This seat is for you

We've been told many times that our people are some of the friendliest, welcoming people around. You will be greeted with a smile, welcomed comfortably, not pressured or pushed, and invited in to enjoy the service.

Bible Teaching

We teach straight from the bible. We do our best to conform our lifestyles to the teachings of the Word. Sunday morning sermons are practical, applicable, relevant, convicting, inspiring, and will draw you into wanting more of Jesus Christ.

Music and worship

Scripture teaches us to sing songs before our God so at The Waters we do just that. You can expect a variety of sounds, songs, and unique forms of worship during every service.

What about my kids

The first Sunday of every month we like to call "family Sunday." This is when all kids ages 5 and up join mom and/or dad in the main service for the entire service. We also take communion on this Sunday. Every other Sunday we have a well-equipped nursery and 3yrs-K(tots) ministry located on our ground floor and our Kids' ministry (grades 1-5) is located upstairs. However, as a parent you are more than welcome to keep your children in the service with you on any Sunday if you prefer. There are clipboards and crayons for your kids in the lobby at the welcome center. Parents: we will require that you sign-in and sign-out your children before service begins and when it is finished. We will not release your child unless the same person who signed them in comes and gets them! Safety first is our standard. But your kids will never want to leave, that's how cool our kids ministry is.
