Come as our guest; we believe you’ll leave as our friend. We know visiting a new church can feel intimidating. These quick answers will help you feel prepared for a great Sunday. If it’s your first time, we’ll help you find seats, kids check-in, and answer questions.
Planning to visit? Fill out our digital Connect Card so we can welcome you well.
HOW SHOULD I DRESS?
Wear what’s comfortable. Most people dress casually; our pastoral staff is usually business casual. Blue jeans are common.
WHERE DO I PARK?
You can enter our paved lot at 1095 Muscogee Road. Guest parking is clearly marked and is a short walk to the front doors. Look for the entrance with “Welcome Home” lettering; a smiling face will be ready to help.
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
Our Sunday services are at 9:15 AM and 11:00 AM. If you’re new, arrive 10 minutes early for coffee and to get settled, especially if you have kids to check in.
WHAT ABOUT MY CHILDREN AND OTHER NEEDS?
When you enter the lobby, you’ll find a staffed nursery nearby and clean restrooms that are easy to spot. A greeter will gladly help you check in your children for Harvest Kids and answer any questions you have.
WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE LIKE?
Harvest Christian Center is a church of people from all walks of life. However, we’re kind of a mess. As a community of people finding out what it means to have life in Jesus, follow Him daily, and leave our pasts behind, we desire to be better. God’s grace is what we depend upon, and He is the source of our blessings.
WHAT WILL THE WORSHIP SERVICE BE LIKE?
Our worship service has three basic parts: music, message, and altar ministry. You will experience music that is contemporary, modern, and Christ-focused. Don’t worry about not knowing the words because we’ll have them projected onto screens for you to follow or sing along. The spoken message will feature a practical, relevant Bible-based message. Should you desire that, the message is usually followed up with a response time for altar ministry. Our worship service is always over in plenty of time for lunch and other afternoon family activities. If you’d like to know more about our worship services before coming, the next best way to check us out is on our YouTube channel.
WHAT IS REQUIRED OF ME?
Nothing. We won’t pressure you to do anything. You’ll be asked to fill out a Connect Card that gives us your name and contact information. That’s so we can mail you a brief thank-you note for being with us. Plus, if you turn in that completed Connect Card on the way out, we’ll give you some homemade treats and a coupon for a free pizza. When our offerings are received, we will not pressure you to give. First-time guests are not expected to provide financial gifts. After the sermon, our pastor usually gives an invitation for prayer. You’ll only come forward if you want the spiritual ministry of prayer with one of our altar workers.
