For First-Time Visitors
What to expect on Sunday.
Some churches feel like an audition. This is not one of them. Here is the honest picture.
The morning
Sunday School begins at 10:00 a.m. ET. Morning Worship follows. Plan on being with us until about noon.
What to wear
Whatever you have. Some members dress up. Some come straight from the night shift. Both are welcome.
Children
Children worship alongside the adults. Sunday School teaches all ages. We do not separate families unless someone needs a quiet moment.
Pace
Unhurried. Pastor Shines preaches with the patience of someone who has been doing this for sixty-three years. You will not feel rushed.

Practical Notes
A few things people usually ask.
Q
Is the building accessible?
The sanctuary is on a single level with step-free entry. If you have specific mobility needs, let us know in advance and we will make sure your visit goes smoothly.
Q
Do I need to bring anything?
Bring your Bible if you have one. We’ll have one for you if you don’t. Pen and notebook are optional — some people take notes, some just listen.
Q
Will I be put on the spot?
No. We may greet you by name at some point during the service, but you will not be called up front, asked to introduce yourself, or pressured to do anything you’re not ready for.
Q
What if I’m not religious?
You are welcome anyway. Pastor Shines teaches Bible-based answers to honest questions — he respects the asking. Come as you are.
Q
Can I just join on Zoom this week?
Absolutely. Email us at fpshines@gmail.com and we’ll send the meeting ID the same day. Many of our members worship from Zoom every week.
We’ll save you a seat.
A pew, or a place on the Zoom call. Either one.
