No one likes to go somewhere when they don't know what
to expect. This page will hopefully help you find your way with us a
little easier. We all have questions about churches and what to
expect when we get there - this page can be your "guide" to answer some of
those frequently asked questions.
- What should I wear? - some call it casual
dress, while others call it dress casual. The long and short of it
is, if you are clothed - jeans or dress clothes - you are more than
welcome to join us.
- Can I bring my children? - this is a cause of
much stress for many parents - we all think that our children are the
loudest or the worst. We absolutely love to have children in
worship. We have even designed our worship so that every service
has a child friendly learning element in it. Before every Sunday
morning worship service is something we call Family Time - this is
basically a time that we can help you teach your child about Jesus in a
way that meets his or her learning style.
- What about the music? - the music is what we
call non-traditional. If you listen to the radio, then you will
find comarable music on stations like 104.9 or 91.5. The vast
majority of our music is media driven using CDs or DVDs. We haven't been
blessed with a music leadership team yet so for now - media will
do.
- Will I be able to follow along? - if you can
read then you should be able to follow along. The entire service
is projected onto the screen. There's no need to fumble through
papers and books. If you have one, bring your bible and feel free
to take notes on the relevant to life sermons.
- Family is mentioned elsewhere on the website, I'm not
married - can I still come? - families come in all shapes
and sizes. Some have families of 10 or 20 while others have
families of one or two. All are welcome at Living Truth - married,
single or divorced. The life-giving message of Jesus is not for
just one group of people.
- What is expected of ME? Will I have to do anything? -
This is a common concern when going someplace new.
Most people get a little anxious when they're going someplace for the
first time. At LTM we try to eliminate some of that anxiety by
expecting NOTHING from anyone. If you are more comfortable just
sitting there and not saying/singing anything, then by all means that's
fine! If however you love to sing, then join in with the songs and
sing until your heart's content (or until the music stops).
- Will I be welcomed? - That one's a little
harder to answer. Of course we think you will be, but we don't know
anything about you yet. The basic idea behind our ministry is that
we want to get to know you, so we'll introduce ourselves and through
conversation try to get to know you a little better. We'll do this
without hovering. If you join us and you don't feel welcome or
feel like we hovered over you, please let us know - we don't want to be
either of those two.
- Other questions - if you think of other
questions that we haven't listed here, please email us and we'll try to
answer to the best of our
ability.
