Plan Your Visit

Your First Visit

Sundays at 9:00am & 10:30am

Trying a church for the first time can come with a lot of questions, especially if church is completely new to you.

So, just come as you are. We’ll help you find your way, and you’re welcome to participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

If Church Is Completely New to You

You Don’t Need to Know the “Right” Way to Do Church

There is no test, no dress code, and no expectation that you already know the Bible or understand church terminology. You can ask questions, bring a friend, sit quietly, sing along, or simply watch and listen.

Our goal is for you to feel welcome, not pressured.

Before the Service

What Happens When You Arrive?

You do not need to figure everything out on your own. Here is what your first few minutes at The Bridge will generally look like.

Park

Our building has a free dedicated parking lot, and preferred spaces are available for first-time guests. Disabled parking is also available near the entrance.

Grab Coffee

Before you head inside, stop by the tent outside the entrance for free coffee and pastries. You’re welcome to grab something, say hello, and settle in before the service begins.

Come Inside

As you enter, you’ll find people nearby who can help you locate the worship space, children’s areas, restrooms, or anything else you need.

Find a Seat

Sit wherever you feel comfortable. There are no assigned seats, and you do not need to arrive knowing anyone.

During the Service

What Happens on a Sunday?

Services last about 80 minutes. You are welcome to take everything in at your own pace. A typical Sunday includes worship music, a Bible-based message, time to greet one another, and communion on the first Sunday of the month.

Music & Worship

The service includes live worship music. You may see people standing, singing, praying, or raising their hands. There is no expectation that you do the same. If you are new to church, it is completely fine to simply listen and observe.

A Bible-Based Message

Our pastor will share a practical message based on the Bible. You do not need to bring a printed Bible or already understand Christianity to follow along. Many people use a Bible app on their phone or another personal device during the message.

Communion

On the first Sunday of the month, the service includes communion, a Christian practice that remembers Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. If you are unfamiliar with communion or don't wish to participate, there is no pressure. You can simply remain seated and observe.

No Pressure

You will not be required to introduce yourself publicly, give money, become a member, sign up for anything, or already know the words to songs or prayers. It's completely okay to simply come, spend time with God’s people, listen to His Word, and get comfortable at your own pace. When you feel ready to take another step, we’ll be here to help.

Bringing Your Family?

Kids & Teens

Age-appropriate programs are available for babies, children, and teens. If you are checking in a younger child for the first time, arriving about 15 minutes early will give your family plenty of time to get settled.

After the Service

What Happens Next?

You can leave right after the service, stay and talk with people, ask questions, or learn more about The Bridge. There is no expectation that you make a commitment on your first visit.

If you would like someone from the church to follow up with you, the Connection Card is an easy way to share your contact information or ask to speak with Pastor Hayden.

Not Sure What to Say?

“I’m new here” is enough. Our team can answer questions, introduce you to someone, or simply point you in the right direction.

You never need to pretend that you already understand church culture or terminology.

When You’re Ready

Ways to Get More Connected

You do not have to sign up for anything on your first visit. If you decide you want to learn more or meet more people, these are some easy next steps.

First Steps

First Steps is a monthly opportunity to learn more about The Bridge, what membership means, and meet people over lunch.

Small Groups

Small groups are smaller gatherings where you can meet people, build friendships, and talk about faith in a more relaxed setting.

Ministry Teams

Teams are opportunities to volunteer in areas such as greeting, the café, kids, production, worship, facilities, and other parts of church life.

Events & Classes

Events and classes are another easy way to meet people, learn more, and participate in life at The Bridge.

Common Questions

A Few Things You May Be Wondering

Do I have to be a Christian to attend?

Everyone is welcome at The Bridge whether you have followed Jesus for years, are unsure what you believe, or are simply curious about Christianity.

Will anyone make me introduce myself?

No — we want you to feel comfortable visiting without worrying about being singled out or asked to speak in front of the church. You may be welcomed by people as you arrive, and during the service there is a brief two- to three-minute greeting time between worship and the message when people may say good morning, shake your hand, or introduce themselves. You are welcome to participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

What if I don’t know the songs or prayers?

There’s no expectation that you already know the songs, prayers, or what to do during the service. You’re welcome to worship by listening, watching, or joining in whenever you feel comfortable.

Do I need to bring a Bible?

You’re welcome to bring a Bible if you have one, but you do not need to bring a printed Bible to follow the service. Many people use a Bible app on their phone or another device during the message. Digital message notes are also available and include links to Bible.com and the passages being discussed.

Bible verses referenced during the sermon are also shown on the display screens so you can read along. If you do not have a Bible and would like one, free Bibles are available in the lobby for you to take home.

What if I have questions about Christianity?

Questions are always welcome. If you would like to talk with someone in person, look for one of our greeters, a member of the prayer team, or anyone wearing a Bridge lanyard. They can listen, answer questions, pray with you, or connect you with the right person, including a pastor or ministry leader when appropriate.

Members of our prayer team wear name tags identifying them as part of the Prayer Group, so they are easy to recognize if you would like someone to talk or pray with.

If you would rather not have a face-to-face conversation on your first Sunday, that is completely fine too. You can contact the church office, send an email, or complete a Connection Card and ask someone to follow up with you later.

Come as You Are

You do not need to have church figured out before you walk through the doors. Join us Sunday at 9:00am or 10:30am and experience The Bridge for yourself.
