“I’ve never been to church before. What can I expect?”

You’ll be greeted with friendly smiles and open hearts — no need to be nervous! Our gatherings are casual and inviting — think jeans and coffee, not suits and pews. We spend time in prayer, a cappella worship, communion, sharing around tables, and practical teaching from Scripture. You won’t be singled out or made to feel uncomfortable; you’ll simply be welcomed as part of the family.

“Do you have a place for my kids?”

Absolutely!  Our goal is to disciple kids—not just care for them. We believe children are full participants in the life of the church, learning to follow Jesus through meaningful relationships. Kids begin in the main worship gathering, then move to a smaller setting for interactive teaching, discussion, and prayer. As our church grows, our kids’ ministry will grow too—but we’re committed to starting in a safe, relational, and sustainable way that forms lifelong followers of Jesus.

“Why doesn’t your worship use instruments?”

Great question! We practice a cappella congregational singing — meaning we worship with our voices only. It’s not because we believe instruments are wrong, but because we’ve found deep beauty and unity in the blending of voices. The sound of everyone singing together reminds us that worship is a shared experience. If singing isn’t your thing, no worries — you can simply listen and take in the beauty of the moment.

“I’m new. Am I allowed to take communion?”

Yes — communion (sometimes called the Lord’s Supper) is open to anyone who wishes to remember Jesus and the sacrifice He made for us. Scripture teaches that it’s a time of remembrance for those who have entered into a covenant relationship with Christ, but no one monitors who does or doesn’t participate. You’re welcome to join us if it feels right for you — or you can simply pass the tray. Either way, you’ll be respected and included.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to church. Will everyone stare at me?”

Not at all! You’ll find people here from all walks of life — newcomers, longtime believers, and everything in between. We’d be honored to have you join us. Jesus loved helping people connect with their Heavenly Father, and we want to do the same.

“What happens on a typical Sunday?”

Sundays are relaxed but meaningful. We focus on worshiping God with sincerity, not formality. A typical service includes singing, prayer, communion, and a message from Scripture that applies to everyday life. You won’t be singled out, and we never expect guests to give during the offering — your presence is gift enough. Learn more here.

“What are your historic roots?

We are an non-denominational church that is a part of the historic Restoration Movement (and a part of the fellowship of churches of Christ), which began as a desire to return to the simple faith and unity of the New Testament church. We’re an autonomous congregation, meaning we’re not governed by any outside body. Each congregation in this movement is unique, but we all share a passion for following Jesus and restoring the heart of His church. For us, that means focusing less on “doing church” and more on being the church Jesus envisioned.

“How are men and women involved in your church?”

We believe both men and women are called to use their gifts to build up the church. At the same time, we affirm the biblical pattern of male spiritual leadership in the church. You will see women actively involved in many aspects of our shared life together—serving, welcoming, teaching children, leading ministries, and participating in gathered worship in ways consistent with our understanding of Scripture. We believe that men and women serve as partners in the use of their gifts of ministry. Women are involved in most aspects of the life of the church, but we uphold the biblical norms of the preaching role in the gathered church and the elder/overseer role are for qualified men.

“Why are you called ‘The Way of Christ?’”

The earliest followers of Jesus were known simply as “the Way” (Acts 9:2). That name shows something important: following Jesus was never meant to be just a weekly event or a religious label — it was a whole new way to live. At The Way of Christ, we believe learning to follow Jesus looks like learning a new way of life. We gather not for a performance or to sit and watch, but to be shaped over time. Together, we practice the way of Jesus — learning how to be with Him, become like Him, and do what He did. This means growing into people who love God, live with integrity, care for others, and follow Jesus in everyday life at home, at work, and in our neighborhoods.
