What To Expect
VISITING SOLID ROCK?
"What to expect"
Visiting a new church can sometimes be intimidating. We don’t want that to be the case at Solid Rock. Hopefully, the following will give you some expectations before you visit.
What should I expect when I first walk in?
If you enter through our front door (glass entrance), you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome and handshake, offered a weekly bulletin of announcements and information, and offered a cup of coffee on the house. If you have kids, someone will show you where their classes meet. (If you would rather keep your kids with you, that’s fine too.) Just a few steps around the corner and you’ll be in our worship auditorium. If you enter through our side entrance (Kids & Family entrance) you’ll be in the middle of our family ministry area. Someone will greet you there and offer you a weekly bulletin too. You’ll find coffee lobby area, and the worship auditorium is just up the ramp.
What is the service like?
We worship God. He is our focus. We worship God through singing, reading the Bible, giving (although as our guest, don’t feel pressured to give), listening to a message taught from the Bible, and living out what we learn. You’ll hear music that draws your focus to God, who He is, and what He’s done for us through Jesus Christ. You’ll hear a Christ-centered sermon from the Scripture and be challenged as well as encouraged by the gospel.
Do you have anything for my kids?
Yes! Our church has a strong commitment to our children and families. Actually, about half of our building is designated for children. On Wednesday nights we have programs for kids in the nursery up through high school. On Sunday morning, we highly value families worshipping together as much as possible. So, we have preschool and nurseries through the entire 10:30am gathering and all other kids remain with their families.
Do I have to bring money for a collection?
As our guest, we don’t want you to feel pressured to give. But allow us to tell you why we give: We give out of worship to God. Worship is giving… we give our time, energy, affection, attention, and money to the things we worship. Christians are called to worship God above all. So giving is just a part or our worship to God. If you do want to worship in giving along with us, we want you to know how it will be used. We have made a commitment that money given to Solid Rock will be used “so people can hear about Jesus.” So whether it is through our missionaries, kids programs, community outreach, Bible study material, or just keeping the church building open, it all points back to people hearing about Jesus!
Do you have any gatherings other than Sunday morning?
Sunday morning at 10:30am is the primary time that we all get together, but we do offer other opportunities throughout the week. On Wednesday evenings we meet for Family Dinner & Devotions. We sit down to eat at 6:00pm then divide up into groups (kids, teens, adults) for Bible study.
What denomination is Solid Rock? What group is Solid Rock associated with?
We are not affiliated with any association. However, we align with Reformation Theology and hold to Baptist distinctives. It may be helpful to know that Pastor Zach holds to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith.
