This page has been created so you can let people know what to expect when they visit your church.

Here are 4 ideas to help you get started:

How long is the service? It’s nice to know how long a service typically runs so people can plan accordingly.
What about kids? Visitors with children like to know what to do when they first walk in—should they head to the kid’s classrooms or bring them into the main service? Also, they want to know what kind of care their child will be receiving.
What’s the service like? Let people know the style of music, whether the service is formal or informal, and other details so they know what to expect. Try to make these details reflect the mission and values of your church.
How do people normally dress? People feel more comfortable in a new place when they don’t feel like they stand out.

OUR SUNDAY MORNINGS TOGETHER

WHAT TO EXPECT

Worship Services

We invite you to join us in worship on Sundays at 9:00 AM Sept through May AND 10:00 AM during the summer months (Memorial Day weekend thru Labor Day weekend). To preview our services for yourself, Visit our YouTube Channel. View services as they are happening or view previously recorded services and Sunday School classes.

We embrace a Reformed Faith. As such, we believe that worship is a conversation, or a communion, with God. God speaks to us through his Word and we respond with appropriate praise, confession, dedication, and celebration, in word, in prayer, and in song. The Word of God is central to worship, with the center point of the worship service being the preaching of the Word. The songs we sing are a mix of traditional hymns and contemporary worship music.

We celebrate the Lord’s Supper on the 2nd Sunday of each month. All who have repented of their sin, placed their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and truly desire to live a godly life in him are welcome to join us at the Lord’s table.

Nursery for ages newborn - 3 1/2 is provided during worship services, staffed by adult congregation members who have been approved through our Youth Safety Policy and assisted by youth helpers ages 11-17.

Children's Story Time for ages 3 1/2 - 2nd Grade is offered during worship services. Children begin in the service, then part way through are invited to meet the leaders in the lobby, go downstairs together, and hear a story and teaching from God's Word at their level. This is led by adult congregation members who have been approved through our Youth Safety Policy and assisted by youth helpers ages 11-17.

For more information about worship services, visit our Worship Page or contact our Director of Worship, Will Burrows - wburrows@crcsj.org.

Sunday School

Sunday School classes take place after the worship service from 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM during the months of September - May for ages 4 - adult. Visit our Education Page for those details.

Fellowship

September through May

Coffee and tea are served in the library right after worship services. Grab a cup and chat with others before heading to Sunday School.

June through August

Gathering after morning worship for cookies and conversation out on the lawn. Meet someone new or catch up with a friend.

We are a joyful and diverse community of people across a wide range of ages who enjoy meeting new people and sharing our lives with one another. Through joy and suffering and doubt and whatever God provides us today, we value praying for and supporting each other in any way we can. God continues to teach us how to live in Christian community with each other as we grow in our walks of faith, and we would love to have you join us.
