What to expect as a guest at Christ's Mission Church
When you visit Christ's Mission Church you can expect to be greeted at the door by friendly people who will welcome you to Christ's Mission Church, give you a bulletin and introduce you to our Guests Host. This person will point out bathrooms and nurseries if needed, give you a packet that tells you more about the church and has an information card in it for you to fill out. They will help you register your children to attend nursery or children's church if you so desire and show you where our worship auditorium is.
Our gatherings are very informal and friendly but respectful and our worship assembly consist of singing, both contemporary and traditional (although we lean more towards the contemporary). We ask that everyone, if able, stand for the singing. After the first song we take a few minutes to greet one another but GUESTS ARE NEVER SINGLED OUT.
One of the men of the church leads us in a Scriptural meditation and then we partake of the Lord's Supper. Because of what the New Testament teaches, we partake of the Lord's Supper weekly. You do not have to be a member of Christ's Mission Church to partake but we do ask that you be an immersed believer. Simply take a double-stacked cup from the tray (one containing a wafer and one containing juice) as it is passed and partake of the bread and juice. You can pass the tray and then take the bread and juice. If you are not yet an immersed believer or do not feel comfortable partaking of the Lord's Supper simply pass the tray to the next person when they are offered to you. After the Lord's Supper, we take up an offering to support the work of the church. This is for our members. Our guests are not expected to contribute but are welcome to if they so desire.
Our prayer time is a very intimate time for the congregation. One of our elders reads through the prayer cards that have been filled out and placed in the prayer box at the back of the auditorium. The congregation is then asked to stand and each praise and request is prayed for by the elder. All of our sermons are Bible-based and usually last between 20-25 minutes. There is a sermon outline in your bulletin to make it easy for you to follow along. The conclusion of the worship assembly usually ends with a prayer and a song. Everyone is then dismissed to go to fellowship time.
Following a 20 minute fellowship time, Sunday School is offered with classes for all ages. If you have not yet visited Christ's Mission Church, we would love to meet you.
