Visiting

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.

When you visit...

We want you to feel welcome when you visit Living Hope. So, here's what you can expect:

Parking is available in the city parking lot adjoining our property, or you can park on the street in front of our building. You can enter the foyer either by the steps in the front or by the ramp at the side. The building is handicapped accessible.

Don't be surprised that the building seems larger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Though it looks small from the outside (a bit like a house actually), our building can seat over 100 people comfortably in its auditorium.

We offer gourmet coffee, tea, and restaurant-quality pastries to all attendees in our foyer before the service.

The Sunday morning service focuses on worship through singing, prayer, giving, and the preaching of God's Word. Our music is usually a mix of contemporary Christian music and updated hymns. The translation of the Bible that we use during preaching and teaching is the New King James Version, but we recognize that there are many excellent other translations available, and we encourage our attendees to avail themselves of all possible references.

We do offer Children's Church for those who wish to attend, and we generally dismiss children to attend it at the midway point of the services. We also have a nursery, and we offer excellent trained childcare for those who desire it.

Our morning service averages about an hour and a half, and our evening Family Bible Hour lasts, yep, you guessed it, an hour. In the Family Bible Hour we avail ourselves of the many educational resources available and often include Christian movies or Video teaching sessions.
