What to expect...

Arriving

There is nothing required to attend Born Church. You do not need to believe in God or Jesus to attend. There is no dress code — just come as you are and as you feel comfortable. Everyone is welcome.

The worship service begins on Sundays at 11:07 a.m. Coffee and light refreshments are available from 10:00–11:00 a.m. in the back, on the left side of the worship center.

Bathrooms are located just inside the side entrance or to the right side of the worship center. Both entrances are handicap accessible.

The main entrance (west side of the building) is a covered porch with double doors and has a ramp to the right of the doors. Handicap parking spaces are located near this entrance on a first-come, first-served basis.
The side entrance (sound side of the building) is a single door at ground level.

If you arrive after 11:07 a.m., the service has already begun. We ask that you quietly use the side entrance.

Parking

Parking is available on the street or in all fenced areas surrounding the church. We do not have painted parking spaces, so please park mindfully, leaving enough room for others to exit.

Worship

During the Service The worship service begins after a short 5-minute countdown at 11:07 a.m. During the countdown, we ask that you find a seat and silence your phones and other devices out of respect for the service.

You may sit on the main floor or upstairs in the balcony. Feel free to bring your coffee and refreshments with you to your seat.

A typical service has three main parts:

Music – We usually sing 3–4 contemporary worship songs. You may see people clapping, dancing, or raising their hands. These acts of worship are welcome but never required.
Prayer – We have a time of sharing “joys and concerns.” Anyone is welcome to share needs, praises, or thanks. The pastor then leads the church in a quiet time of prayer.
Message (Sermon) – The pastor shares a relevant message from the Bible, usually 20–30 minutes long. Everyone is a learner at Born Church — all stages of faith are welcome.

Our services are contemporary, featuring newer songs, colored stage lights, and screens. We occasionally include older hymns and traditional elements.

You can see examples of our services on our YouTube channel.

Occasional Elements of the Service

Communion Communion takes place once a month, usually on the first Sunday. It is optional and open to all believers in Christ. In simple terms, communion is a reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and the gift of salvation for all who believe. We use a small piece of bread and a cup of grape juice, which represent the body and blood of Christ. If you are new to Christianity or have questions about communion, we’d be happy to explain it further. Please feel free to reach out to our lead pastor or use our contact page before participating.
Baptism Baptism is an outward sign of an inward decision to follow Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. We usually baptize by full submersion in water, symbolizing the cleansing of sin and a new beginning in Christ. It is a celebration we love to share with anyone who has made that decision.
Laying on of Hands Occasionally, when a serious need arises in someone’s life, we may ask if they would like the church to lay hands on them and pray. This is a way to show love, support, and intercession in prayer.

Giving

Giving is an important part of the Christian faith, but there is no pressure or obligation at Born Church. We do not pass an offering plate during the service. Instead, you will find a slot in the back labeled “Tithes and Offerings.” The gifts we receive help cover building expenses, staff salaries, and ministry needs.

Kids & Youth

Nursery (ages 1 to Pre-K): We encourage you to drop your little ones off in the nursery before the service begins. The nursery is located behind the main stage to the right. A nursery worker will be there to help and answer any questions. Children are also welcome to stay in the main service with you. If you need a changing table or a quiet place to rock your child, you are welcome to use the nursery.
Children (Grades K–6): At the start of the countdown, children may exit through the door at the front left side of the worship center for their own programming. They are also welcome to stay in the main service.
Youth (Grades 7–12): Youth are encouraged to stay in the main service, though they may join the children’s group if they prefer.

We also offer programming on Thursdays for kids and youth in grades K–12. Please visit our after-school page for more details.
