It is okay to come in after the service has begun and for comfort, there is also a balcony. An usher can seat you or you are welcome to just find an open seat. Announcements will start, formally beginning the service, but you are still not late! Children are more than welcome in the service.

There is a nursery available for children 5 years and younger in the East basement.

Our worship time usually involves a Call To Worship, hearing Scripture Readings, a prayer over the Tithes & Offerings as well as a time for a prayer of Confession, Repentance, and Intercession. There are also times we include Children’s Time, a special song or reading, communion, and baptisms.

~ No, you still aren’t late. Find a seat and join us! ~

The message being given typically has graphics and notes shown on the screen to help you follow along.

11:30 a.m. – Service ends

Our service ends with a closing prayer, and many times we also sing a Sending Song together.

After the service ends, one of our Ministry Team members is available for prayer at the front of the sanctuary. They are happy to give support and pray with you for any needs you have.

When you leave the sanctuary, you'll find a Ministry Team member waiting to give you a handshake as you leave.

We hope you will join us soon at AMC! We always love seeing new faces and worshipping Jesus Christ together. If you’ve been with us before, we hope you enjoyed your time at AMC and will come back soon.
