Church FAQs 

What should I wear when I come to your church​?

We want you to be comfortable and wear what you want. Some enjoy dressing up as they have for years, while others prefer worshiping in jeans and a t-shirt.  So, the bottom line – wear what you want.  We just want you to be there and enjoy your time with God and us. 

What is your worship music like?

We like a mix of everything. We do try to stay up with some of the most current worship songs, but it's not strange for our church to sing an old hymn and a worship song from Hillsong in the same service.  

What if my baby cries during the service?

That would be awesome - we love kids.  Children are a beautiful sight to us because we realize that they are the next generation to carry the baton of Christ forward. However, if it makes you feel better we do have a baby cry room in the back of the sanctuary.

What denomination are you? 

Presbyterians are a group of Protestants whose church is founded on the concept of democratic rule under the Word of God. The PC(USA) is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States. We believe that scripture is the primary ruling for faith and life, and that confession shows the church as a community of believers and not just a “collection of individuals.” The confessions help to guide and remind us of what we believe.

How long are your services and what are they like?

Our worship service runs from 10:00 - 11:00 Am. Typically our services consist of praise and worship, announcements, prayer, offerings, a media element, and a message.  However, we have been known to get creative at times and don't always stick to a rigid format. 

If I come to your church are you going to point me out?

Yes, we would love for you to come up front and introduce yourself by doing the chicken dance. Just kidding.  No, we won't point you out.  We know that checking out a church for the first time can be a little intimidating.  We will be excited to have you join us, but we won't embarress you from the front.  However, you may have to look out for David.  He is our unpredictable big-hearted wild man. 

Will I fall asleep during your service?

We hope not.  Our ministry team knows that churches have a stigma for being very dry and dull.  We try hard to fight that, because we believe that following Jesus is quite the opposite.  Ultimately we desire our services to be full of truth, encouragement, and life.  We do have some creative and even humorous elements that we throw in at times to keep people engaged.    

Can we drink Coffee during the service?

I am not sure, but I do. 

What if I am not perfect can I still come?

If you are not perfect then you should fit in just fine.  Many of us have stories of mistakes, brokeness, addictions, and failures and that is one of the reasons that we need each other.  There is no greater encouragement than talking to others who have been in your shoes.  

Doesn't "so and so" go to your church?

We hope so, but we still hope that you will join us!  We realize that in small towns everyone seems to know everything about everybody. Many times not everyone carries the same weight of respect.  There may even be someone at LPC that you have a lack of respect for. But let's face it, we are probably a "so and so" to someone else.  We hope that "so and so" does not become a deciding factor for you to join us.  We really want LPC to be a place where some of those attitudes can be laid to rest as we worship the Lord together.
