What to Expect

We want your visit to Faith to be a comfortable and positive experience. We’ve tried to anticipate some of the questions you might have before you come to Faith. You will find the answers to those questions below. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact the church office at 785-776-2086 or send us an email.


When should I arrive?

The first time you attend plan to arrive 10 minutes early (15 if you have children).  This will give you time to park, stop by our Welcome Center, drop off the kids and find a comfortable place to sit in one of our four worship services.

Where should I park?

There are several designated parking spaces reserved just for you, our guest!  These spaces are located near the front doors, which are located on the east side of the building.  Signs will direct you.

When are your services?

There are two onsite locations for our services. We have services at 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. in our Worship Center. All of these services are identical in worship format and message.  Our 11:00 service is usually pretty full, so we would encourage you to either come early or to attend one of our other services.

What is a service like?

People usually show up for a service a few minutes early. Some will use the time to quietly prepare for worship, while others are engaged in visiting with friends or guests. After a few announcements, there is a brief time of greeting those around us. A worship team leads us in songs both at the beginning and at the end of the service. The sermon, or message, is meant for us to better understand the Bible and our relationship to God in a way that is relevant to our everyday life.  The messages are available to you on our website or you may purchase a copy on CD or DVD at our Office Counter for $1.00. The service ends with a a benediction to send people off with a 'good word' of encouragement. On the first Sunday of the month, we celebrate communion. The elements are served to us while we remain seated.

What is offered for children?

Children's worship opportunities are provided throughout the morning. To find the check-in desks for infants, toddlers and preschoolers take a left once inside the church go past the Welcome Center desk and head down the hallway. You can find specific locations by looking at our building map. There are nursery and preschool opportunities throughout the morning. Elementary classes are only offered from 9:15 until 10:45. If you have children we would love for you to let us know about your visit by filling out our visitors form so that we can prepare well and make each child's first experience a good one.

Some people prefer to have their children, at any age, in the worship services with them while others prefer to have their children in an environment centered around the child. We welcome both. At times, young children can be a bit noisy in a worship service. That’s not a problem. We would invite you to consider utilizing the children's ministry options if you sense your child is becoming a distraction to others.

To find out more about the children's programs check out the Children's Ministry pages, especially the children's What to Expect page and feel free to contact us with any further questions.

What should I wear?

There is no “dress code” at Faith. Feel free to wear what best helps you worship God. You’ll find some people in blue jeans or shorts and a few in ties. Many people are somewhere in between. We are really much more concerned that you connect with God than with what you wear.

Am I expected to give?

No; the offering is a form of worship for our regular attenders.  We pass the offering bag in each service to give our regular attenders an opportunity to worship in this way. We really want you to receive, not give, when you visit Faith.

Will I be singled out as a guest?

Rest assured that we will not ask you to wear a name-tag, nor will you ever be singled out in our services. We want your time with us to be relaxed and comfortable.
