Service order

What a Sunday looks like

10:05 AM

Pull in and park

Park anywhere in the lot at 416 S US HWY 41. Someone at the door will point you the right way — you will not have to figure it out alone.

10:10 AM

Check in your kids

Someone will be at the Connection Kids check in station to walk you through the check in/check out process and procedures.

10:15 AM

Worship together

We'll spend about 25–30 minutes worshiping through music. About halfway through, we'll welcome everyone, share a few announcements, and receive the offering. If you're visiting, don't feel any obligation to give—we're simply glad you're here. On the first Sunday of each month, we also celebrate Communion together.

10:45 AM

The message

A pastor teaches from the Bible for about 35 minutes in plain, everyday language. If you don't own a Bible, we'll give you one.

11:20 AM

Altar Call/Post Service Worship

After the message, the Pastor will give and invitation for anyone who would like prayer. There is never any pressure. You can participate or simply remain in your seat.

11:30 AM

Stay a minute

We usually end around 11:30 am. We would love for you to stick around a few minutes after service to meet the pastors and enjoy coffee and conversation with others.

We do our best to keep the service on schedule, but from time to time an added element or a special moment may cause us to run a little longer. Because we are a Spirit-filled church, there are moments when the Lord leads us in a different direction and we simply follow. Treat the times above as estimates — they are here to help you plan, not to promise an exact end time.

Good questions

Everything people ask before they come

What do people wear?

Whatever you're comfortable in. You'll see jeans and t-shirts next to suits and dresses. Nobody will look twice.

Where do my kids go?

Kids birth through 5th grade have their own rooms with trained, background-checked volunteers. Babies and toddlers go to the nursery. You are also completely welcome to keep your kids with you in the service. See Connection Kids.

Is there a place to nurse my baby?

Yes. We have a private nursing mothers' room with comfortable seating. Nursery & nursing room details.

Will I be asked for money?

No. We take an offering during the service, but it is for people who already call this church home. As our guest, please don't feel any pressure to give.

Will I be singled out or asked to stand up?

Never. We won't put a spotlight on you or make you introduce yourself in front of everyone.

What is communion, and can I take it?

Communion is a small piece of bread and a cup of juice that we take together on the first Sunday of each month to remember Jesus' death for us. If you are a follower of Jesus, you are welcome to take it. If you're not sure, it's completely fine to let it pass.

How long is the service?

About an hour and thirty minutes, start to finish. Sundays at 10:15 AM.

Do I have to join anything?

Not at all. Come as many times as you like and decide later. There is no membership requirement to be part of what happens here.

Is there a midweek service?

Yes — Wednesdays at 6:30 PM. Adults meet in small groups for study and real conversation, 6th-12th graders head to Connection Youth, and there is a spot for the kids too in Connection Kids. The whole family has somewhere to be on Wednesday night.

Still have a question?

Ask us anything — no question is too basic. Call (352) 726-4524, email reception@connectionchurch.co, or message us on Facebook.
