We are excited that you are interested in being our guest at APC! We also know that going to a new church or a place you have never been can be overwhelming. So, let’s put your mind at ease by letting you know in advance what to expect.
The Church: We believe the church is a hospital, where individuals come to heal, to grow, and to be made whole. Just like any hospital would, we receive any and all, no matter their background or previous experience. Simply put, you are welcome here, and we believe you belong here!
Our Worship: You may have heard that Pentecostals (which is what we are) are lively in their worship. That would be correct! While it may not be what some are used to, we are demonstrative in our worship and praise, which is encouraged in the Word of God and is a natural response to both God’s greatness and His grace in our lives. We love to worship!
Our Family: Just like in any local church, at APC, we truly believe that we are a church family. In essence, we do life together. We pray for one another, care for one another, and serve one another to the best of our ability. Oftentimes, individuals enter our doors looking for a church but leave with a family. That is our desire for you as well.
Let’s Get Practical:
- How long does service last?
- Typically, 2 hours on Sunday morning (with 1 hour of Christian Education/Sunday School Classes).
- Midweek usually lasts 1 hour.
- What should I wear?
- You will find all manner of dress at APC, from formal attire to casual on Wednesday nights.
- You are welcome to wear whatever is appropriate, as you come to worship God.
- What should I do when I arrive?
- Feel free to park as close as you can to the building, especially in our Guest Parking areas!
- Once you arrive, you can enter the main entrance. We will be there to greet you!
- What does Sunday School include?
- Typically, we have around 45 minutes of teaching in any number of classes, including children’s classes of all ages, youth, young adult, young marrieds, ladies’ class, Spanish, Connect Class, and our Bible Study class in our main sanctuary.
- After classes, we all convene in the main sanctuary, while our children (5-12 years old) meet for a special service of their own.
- How can I become more connected to the church?
- We are glad you asked! We regularly have our APC Connect Class, which meets on intermittent Sunday’s at 10:00 AM.
- You can register for the class at this link: Connect Class.
