What are your services like?
Alice Drive’s services focus mostly on worship and preaching. We’ll share some announcements during the morning, express our hearts to God through music, and hear a teaching about God’s word. The 8:30 am service is a traditional service for those who are most comfortable connecting to God through hymns. The music at the 9:45 and 11:00 services is contemporary. The sermon in all 3 services is identical. Both before and after the service, our foyer is open to talk more with people you’ve met and grab a cup of coffee.
Will I have to say anything, sign anything, or be singled out?
Rest assured that you won't be put on the spot, singled-out, orembarrassed. Though we do receive an offering, we don't want anyone to feel obligated to give. We do like to collect some basic information from first time visitors, but if you'd prefer not to, that's alright with us.
What about my preschoolers?
A staffed nursery is available during the 9:45 and 11:00 services. Parents are always welcome to attend and observe any of our children’s ministries.
