Your First Visit

We know visiting a church for the first time can come with a lot of questions—What should I wear? What’s available for my kids? What will the service be like? At Living Waters Church, we want to make your visit as easy and comfortable as possible. From uplifting music and encouraging messages to a friendly atmosphere, our goal is for you to feel right at home. We’ve answered a few common questions below, but feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

Our congregation gathers every Sunday morning at 10am.

Our church family comes together with no formal dress code. Some enjoy the opportunity to dress up formally while others prefer the comfort of the casual clothes they wear every day. You are welcome to come as you are, with no expectation for anything else!

Our church is on Main Street. You can park in the free municipal lots behind the church on Bacon Street, across the street behind Tompkins Bank, as well as the street parking available in front of the church.

  • Friendly greeters will welcome you at the entrance!
  • First-time guests are invited to stop by the Guest Services table for a brochure and free gift!
  • Ushers are available to answer questions or help with seating.
  • A nursery is available for babies and toddlers (ages 0–2), cared for by loving and capable caregivers.
  • If you have children, they will come with you into the sanctuary, and have the opportunity for a great age-appropriate time of ministry later in the service when it is announced.

 

  • The atmosphere is warm, casual, and family-like—no formal rituals or performances.
  • Service begins at 10 AM with contemporary musical worship led by our worship team.
  • Song lyrics are projected on the front wall—no hymnals needed.

  • Worship includes a range of Biblical expressions—from joyful singing and clapping to quiet reflection and raised hands.
  • After worship, brief announcements are shared along with information about giving. (No pressure—guests are not expected to give.)

  • The service closes with a moment of personal response and prayer.
  • Enjoy light refreshments and connect with others in the lobby.
  • Feel free to introduce yourself to Pastor Jim—he’d love to meet you!
