New Here? What to Expect.
-
You’ll be greeted at the door and given a Sunday bulletin. We also have freshly brewed hot coffee, tea and pastries in the lobby for you to enjoy while you wait for service to begin. Our greeters will be happy to help you find the right classroom for your children, find a seat in the auditorium or answer any questions you may have.
-
We have classes available for children during all of our services. We love children and desire to see them know God and the Bible. Additionally, we value teaching them to honor their parents. Our classes and children’s ministry personnel are ready to serve your children well!
-
We love babies! If you have small children, we welcome you to bring them. We have a great nursery facility for infants through 36 months and loving workers to serve both you and your baby. If you would like to keep your baby in the service, you are welcome to do that as well. There is also a private nursing room for mothers.
-
Our services are designed to maximize the possibility of your hearing a message from the Bible in a way that you can walk away and immediately apply it in your life situation. Our music worship team lead us both at the beginning and end of the service in pieces that complement the message. Our primary concern is that God is honored in the way we worship Him through careful handling of the Bible text, music, and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
-
Not if we can help it! We generally don’t point out our guests during the service, or ask them to stand up. One of our friendly greeters will present you with a gift bag of Sonrise coffee that was blended right here in Ozark, as well as a simple Visitor Information Card that we ask for you to fill out and drop in the offering box near the auditorium exit or give back to the greeter. The information helps us keep track of where our visitors come from, what their needs are, and if they would like to know more about the church.

Our Beliefs
The Bible is the only inspired, inerrant, authoritative and sufficient Word of God consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments.
There is one God, Eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
That for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
That a person becomes justified by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and His church.
In the importance and vital role the local church plays in the lives of all believers.
