Question 5

Nursery Available

Children are always welcome at worship service if you desire to keep your children with you. We also have a paid nursery director, Miss Pilar Tobar, with adult volunteer assistants, and a well-equipped nursery for ages 0-3 years. Ask a greeter for assistance in getting to the nursery downstairs.

Question 6

Worship Style

Answer

The Contemporary Worship Service that begins at 8:45AM is an informal yet structured atmosphere with prayer and music that are interactive and energetic.

The Traditional Worship Service at 11:00AM is conventional and structured and uses hymns and limited liturgy.

At both services, you will hear preaching that is scripture-based, Christ-focused, and application-oriented.

Question 7

Holy Communion

Answer

We share in the sacrament of Holy Communion about 7-8 times a year. We practice Open Communion, which means all who profess Jesus Christ as Savior are welcome at the Communion Table, including preparatory children accompanied by adults.

Question 8

Sunday School

Answer

On Sunday mornings in between worship services, we invite you to take part in a small group study we call “Sunday School.” Adults may choose from five different classes. Ushers can direct you to the location of classes. Feel free to visit each one until you find the best fit for you.

For Preschool- 5th grade, classes are age-based, with adult teachers. Middle school, high school and college-aged/young adults have separate classes.

Question 9

Restrooms

Answer

Ladies’ and Men’s facilities are located through the exit doors to the front of the sanctuary, downstairs in the Preschool area, and in the Connor Family Life Center.

Question 10

Giving

Answer

Guests are never expected to give at FMC Conover! Our ministry is faith-based supported voluntarily by our members and regular participants as God leads. If you are a visitor, please fill out a Guest Card from the pew racks and drop it in the offering plate. If you would like a confidential prayer, we are privileged to pray for you! Please utilize the Prayer Request Cards, giving as much information as you are comfortable with, and drop that in the offering plate at the front or rear of the sanctuary.

Question 11

Will Someone Contact Me?

Answer

Sometimes guests prefer to remain “incognito” the first few times they visit, since they are likely visiting other churches and have not yet made a decision about their future plans. Please initiate contact when you are ready. You may do this by telling a greeter or usher that you are a first-time guest, or by filling out a guest card and placing it in the offering plate. If you fill out a guest card, please indicate how you prefer to be contacted. Expect a follow-up call, email, or visit according to your wishes.

Question 12

What should I wear?

Answer

There is no dress code! You should be comfortable walking into our church wearing dress clothes, casual clothes, a uniform or whatever helps you prepare your heart for worship. At our contemporary service, you will typically find more casual dress than at the traditional service.
