WHAT TO EXPECT!

Going to church for the first time can be scary. But don't worry! We want you to know what to expect so you can feel comfortable when you come for your first visit to New Heights.

Each Sunday morning, we gather as a church family to celebrate and worship our risen Savior. We begin at 9:00am with an opening song of praise followed by a welcome, scripture reading, and prayer by one of our elders. We continue in a few more songs of worship, and then we focus on the opening and explaining of the Bible through the message given by one of our pastors. We end the service with a time of prayer, reflection, and a final song of praise. After a scripture based benediction, the service is over, but we encourage people to stay around and meet other people at church with them. Below are some other frequently asked questions...

We sing both well known hymns along with modern worship songs; both of which are based on scripture and magnify God. Our desire is that our worship is not a "show," but congregational time of praising God as the gathered body of Christ. Because of this, we pick songs that are singable by the entire congregation so that you can participate in worship with the rest of us. We are blessed to have a plethora of talented musicians at New Heights, so you will enjoy the variety of style and instruments used in worship.

On a normal Sunday morning, one of our elders will preach an expositional message on a particular scripture passage. We preach through books of the Bible in their entirety, so each week when you come back, you will hear the next sequential passage preached until we finish that book. Listed are the next three weeks of scripture we will be studying:

November 16: John 21:1-14

November 23: John 21:15-25

November 30: Advent

We love children and love having them in our services! A crying baby doesn’t bother us! If you feel comfortable leaving your child in our nursery, our loving and qualified nursery workers will look after your child during the service so that you can worship with us in the main service. We also have children’s classes for kids preschool to 5th grade where they will sing, participate in crafts and activities and learn about the Bible.

Our church family is diverse from older retired folks to middle aged families with college students and teenagers, to young families with toddlers. Many of our people are doctors, business people, contractors, farmers, teachers, students, stay-at-home-moms, and more. But what unites us all is not our age, profession, or race. It is the blood of Christ that unites us and allows us to have fellowship. Because of this, our people will welcome you gladly as you come to worship with us regardless of who you are or what you are like.

NEXT STEPS

Church is so much more than just meeting once a week on a Sunday morning. Church is living in community with one another as the Body of Christ. On Sunday, we are stirred up by the preaching and music to then live out the message of the gospel throughout the week. Some of the ways we do that are listed below.
