What to Expect on Sunday
Our Worship Service
The greeters will treat you like family. You will feel like you are at a family reunion: lots of love, chatter and easy-going relationships.
About 20 minutes of worship songs with a blend of musical styles. No dress code. Most people dress casual; the pastor does. 🙂
Good, free coffee you can bring into the service. We pray for each other and for people around the world. The sermon is Bible-based and often with
testimonies or comments from the congregation.
The service runs from 10-11:45 AM. We gratefully remember the Lord in a Communion Service on the first Sunday of each month.
We have a lot of leaders: former missionaries, doctors, teachers, engineers, retired military, artists and business owners.
We love the mix of nationalities and languages that some members spoke. We welcome people with serious needs, struggling with any kind of sin who want help from God. This is a safe and healing place for wounded, weary people and a great place to test out your leadership and ministry gifts.
For Children
Rhonda Cooley is our Director of Children’s Ministries that includes an active, fun and Bible-centered class for 6-13 year-olds that begins just before the sermon. Rhonda often teaches the Bible by organizing children’s Bible plays.
In the Pre-School Class, Debbie Caldwell trains 3-5 year-olds in simple Bible truths, with snacks. Children can go there for the entire service or just
during the sermon. Pre-schoolers are always escorted to the bathrooms. We encourage parents to care for their babies & toddlers, 0-2 in the service or with the Pre-School class. About once a month, the children make a presentation in the main service. We love children! We want more of them!
For Youth
We have a few youth who now serve as ushers, audio-visual technicians and on the Worship Team during the service. When we have a few more youth, we will start a youth group that meets during the week.
For Adults
Adults serve as greeters, ushers, kitchen helpers, audio-visual workers and worship team members. We encourage all ages, especially adults to share during the service with testimonies, words they sense from the Lord or a scripture God impresses on them.
We have a wonderful Church Luncheon on the second Sunday of each month right after the service. We all bring food to share and always have plenty
of food for everyone, especially for our guests! Please visit and stay for lunch!
What We Do
In Our Church
We Worship & Pray
This is the most important and powerful thing we do. Besides Sunday Morning Worship, we have weekly and bi-monthly meetings to encounter God in worship & prayer. Our Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting at the pastor’s home is open to all anytime. It meets from 7-8:30 PM. We pray currently praying for one another to be personally
We Love Each Other Well
We love each other like a family. No one is left out. People are kind, trustworthy and generous. We really enjoy each other in our monthly Church Luncheons, holiday picnics, annual retreats
We Learn the Bible
God tells us Who He is and who we really are through God’s divine revelation in the Bible. The Bible feeds our souls and protects our minds. Biblical truth helps us mature as people and as Christians.
We Offer God’s Healing
We help people find freedom from sin through faith in Jesus, freedom from emotional pain, freedom from physical ailments and freedom from demonic
oppression. These are the main works of Jesus. We also train people in the healing ministries of Jesus.
We Support Global Missions
We passionately promote ministry to people in other nations who have not had a chance to know how to get to heaven. We pray, we give and we go to them. Many of our members are former missionaries!
We Spend Money Wisely
We invest in many ministries for our members as well as in regional and overseas ministries. Pastor Bob and the Elders administer church finances with the oversight of a Finance Board and a bookkeeper. Our books are open to review by members.
Our church is a Virginia non-profit corporation and all financial gifts to it are tax-deductible under federal IRS rules. We receipt all gifts to our donors annually with an itemized statement of their giving. Donations can be given online, by texting or by check or cash.
