Frequently Asked Questions

A: Not at all. Some people like to dress up, while others prefer to come as they are. You are welcome, however you choose to come.

A: Children of any age are welcome in worship. We provide children’s books and worship activity bags for kids to enjoy during the service. For little ones, there’s a “Play and Pray” area in the sanctuary with toys, books, and rocking chairs for parents. If little ones need to wander, the service can also be heard in the narthex (lobby area). We’re a supportive community, and there’s always someone happy to lend a hand!

For children ages 4 through 4th grade, we offer our Children & Worship Program three Sundays a month from September through mid-May. This program provides a kid-friendly worship experience where children learn about worshiping God. Kids start in the sanctuary with their families and then join an adult leader in the Children & Worship room nearby. On the first Sunday of each month, children stay in the sanctuary with their families to participate in communion.

A: Yes! Presbyterian churches practice open communion. Anyone seeking to know and follow Jesus Christ is welcome to participate, regardless of their denominational background. This includes baptized children.

A: Kids are part of Christ’s family, and being part of a family means coming to the table. While children (and adults) may not fully understand the depth of communion, we believe understanding grows with participation. Parents are encouraged to guide their children in understanding communion in an age-appropriate way.

A: We’d love to talk with you about baptism! Presbyterians view baptism as a sacred connection to Christ and the church. It involves a commitment to being part of the church community and raising children within that family of faith. If you’re interested, please speak with one of our pastors to learn more.

A: While in-person worship is meaningful for many, live-streaming offers accessibility for those who can’t attend in person. During the pandemic, we discovered that virtual worship provided a genuine sense of connection for many. Live-streaming continues to serve members with health or mobility challenges, those traveling or spending part of the year in another location, and family or friends joining from afar. It’s also a way to connect with new people. We’re committed to offering both in-person and virtual worship, making our services inclusive for all participants.

Our pastors are happy to connect with you in person, by phone, or via email. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
