Worship Service FAQs:
What are services like? Our worship experiences are intentionally designed to be focused on God and driven by the Gospel. We deeply value the direction God provides through the Bible and devote most of our time to hearing it taught and practically applied to our lives. Services last approximately one hour and 15 minutes.
|
What’s the music like? God designed the church to represent a diversity of cultures, ages, and backgrounds, so we seek to reflect that in the way we worship. You’ll find a blend of new and old songs — contemporary praise and worship with some hymns mixed in as well — all to help you experience and focus on the person and work of Jesus Christ. Our worship team's desire is not to put on a performance on stage but to help lead you into the presence of God.

Do I need to dress up? God cares far more about what we look like on the inside than the outside, and we want people to be comfortable and more focused on the service than what they're wearing. It's common to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a casual shirt. Others prefer to dress up a little, and that's fine, too. We think you'll fit in no matter how you dress.
|
Are classes available on Sunday mornings? In addition to programming for children during the service, we offer a class for adults at 9 a.m. before our worship service, where you can meet people and study God's Word. We also offer a confirmation class for our middle school-age youth and a group study for our high school-age youth at 9 a.m. on Sundays.
|
How can I get connected? There are many ways to get connected at Harvest Ridge. The primary way is through our Harvest Ridge Together small groups. Additionally, we offer a casual time of fellowship with coffee and dessert after our worship service. We also have an occasional newcomer’s lunch with the pastors after church, opportunities to serve alongside others, or you can get involved in a ministry.
