Your first Sunday, start to finish
Walking into a new church can feel like a lot. Here is exactly what happens, so nothing catches you off guard.

- What to wearWhatever you like. You will see jeans, work boots and the occasional Sunday dress.
- Kids check-inStop at the kids desk to the left of the main doors. You get a matching tag to pick your child up, and every classroom has two screened adults.
- How longAbout 70 minutes. Some music, a message of around 30 minutes, and we finish on time.
- CoffeeFree coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the lobby before and after. Donuts at the 10:45.

Small Faithful Things
Ready · 34 min
Most of life happens in small, repeated choices. We talked about why the quiet habits matter more than the big moments we plan for.
- Little things add up, for better or worse.
- Pick one small practice and keep it for a month.
- Nobody has to see it for it to count.
