What to Expect
First visits to church can be awkward, especially your first time at any church. We wondered, "What do churches think about visitors who are exploring the faith?"
We collected responses from 5,800 churches across the United States.
What if I'm not a Christian?
- You are very welcome here! We'd love to get to know you and find out more about who you are and how we can serve you.
- Everyone is welcome
- You are most welcome. We would love to get to know you.
- We would love to welcome you to any of our services! Everyone takes a different path in their spiritual journey, come start with us! If you like live music, you will probably want to try out Saturday Night Alive or Starting Point . Think church should be organ music that you sing hymns too? Then perhaps 8:00 a.m. (smaller size worship service - 40-60 people) or 10:05 a.m. (larger worship service - 275-350 people) worship services are for you. If you want to discover why being a Christian is for you....talk David, Cathie, Janel, Sharon or Mitzi....and we will help find a small group where you can ask questions or just absorb and discover. Take your time, God is patient....and He loves you very much!
- Whether you are familiar with church or not, we hope our worship services may be a safe place to explore the Christian faith from the inside. We fully expect everyone to bring with them their questions, doubts, and fears, as well as their joy, eagerness, faith and everything in between.
- Todos son bienvenidos. Nuestras puertas están abiertas para todos los que quisieran venir y escuchar la palabra. Si tienen preguntas, nuestros Pastores y Diáconos están disponibles para hablar con ustedes.
- You are welcome to come check it out. There is no secret code to get in. There is no need to be anything other than you. We are all sinners saved by grace, the only difference is we have discovered truth in a relationship with Christ (Christian) and you are still searching. We were all searchers too, and now we are on a journey to follow the truth of God's Word
- We welcome people who are searching for spiritual answers and meaning. We know we are not the only people in the world who are about the task of getting our spiritual lives in order.
- Even if you don't know Jesus, you belong. LakePointe is a place to Belong as you Change, and to Change as you Follow Jesus. We want to help people receive all God has for them by experiencing a life-changing relationship with Jesus, by giving people a safe place to belong, and by teaching people what it means to follow Jesus. Whether you have doubts about God or are a committed Jesus-follower, LakePointe is a perfect place to either begin or continue your spiritual journey. We believe the Bible has the answers to life's biggest questions, and we want to help people take a closer look at what it says.

This book takes pre-believers and new believers through an explanation of getting started in Christian faith.

- The gospel is a term used throughout the New Testament that translated literally means "good news". We believe that the gospel really is good news for everyone that puts their faith in Christ. It both saves us and teaches us how to live. The gospel is not merely for the day we are saved and/or the day we stand before God, but for everyday in between too. The gospel progressively transforms us as we continue to walk in light of this good news. Whether you are a Christian or not, we believe that this message of good news compels us to respond to Christ in faith and worship - for the first time or the thousandth!
