Am I allowed to take the Lord’s Supper (communion?)We believe it is the Lord’s table, and all who believe in him and have been baptized may partake. This includes believing Christians, no matter their particular denomination.

I don’t have a background in the Christian religion / I’m not sure what I believe. Will that be a problem if I want to visit?It won’t be a problem at all! Anyone is welcome to attend our time of Worship. You may participate (in singing, the prayers, in Sunday Bible study) as you wish. And, if you want to see a service before you attend in-person, check out our live streams. Please know the pastoral staff is always happy to discuss any questions you might have about our faith in God: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.
