Some Typical Questions Most Guests
Have Before They Visit
Do you really like visitors?
What is your service like? Who preaches? Is it long?

We would love for you to visit our ministry! We understand that stepping into a new church for the first or second time can be a little unnerving. Be assured that we will do all we can to make you feel at home with us. We want your visit to be a life-enriching experience.
Allow us to give you a brief idea of how things go on a typical Sunday. During our morning worship service, our congregation is led in singing songs that teach us about the Christian life. Our services also incorporate a short time of quiet personal prayer led by one of our leaders. The primary element of our worship services involves a carefully prepared sermon by our pastor, Bryan Shaffer. Pastor Shaffer’s preaching method involves teaching that is rooted in the text of the Bible. Messages are intended to encourage Christians in their walk with God. Messages give special attention to our human weakness and to the power of God for victorious, holy, Christian living.

What should I wear?

At Eagle Heights, we are most concerned, as Jesus is, about the condition of the inner person. Therefore, external appearance, though important, is not our primary concern. At Eagle Heights, we seek to maintain an atmosphere that helps us to focus on Jesus Christ. As a guest, you will probably be most comfortable dressed in what may be called “business casual." However, don't worry about what you wear. We won't. We'll just be glad you came to join us.
Please be at ease! We will not ask you to participate in any of our service functions with which you are uncomfortable. One of our church staff members will recognize our “first-time” visitors at the beginning of our service, but we will not obligate you to participate in any of our regular worship. You will not be asked to pray aloud, sing, etc. Although an offering plate is passed during the service for our church family to participate in as the Lord leads, no one ever expects our guests to feel any obligation to give. Our only desire is that you are as comfortable as possible as our guest and free to observe first-hand what lies at the heart of our faith.
We have ministries for your family. We have a nursery staffed with a screened, professionally trained staff. We take every precaution to maintain the safety of your little ones. We also have a children's church for elementary aged children during the service time so they can learn about God on their level and allow you to completely focus your attention in the worship service. Bring your whole family when you visit.
