About Us

Layman Church teaches the Scriptures so that lives are changed. We always seek to make much of Jesus. Anyone can entertain you. Anyone can provide programs for your children. Or groups for women. For men. And couples/families. Only Jesus can change us from the inside out. Transform us by the power of his Spirit. Only Jesus can give us new life. And he does that through the Ancient Scriptures.

On Sunday mornings, we meet together for fellowship, worship, Word, and prayer. All of those things are to Christ’s glory, which is the ultimate purpose of life. And is our greatest joy, blessing, and satisfaction in life.

Our small groups (Bible studies) tend to be centered on biblical fellowship and teaching the Scriptures. Our Children’s Church can be a lot of fun for the kids. But we’re not looking to just teach a bunch of moral lessons. Rather, we seek to make Jesus the hero of the story so that children understand God’s incredible love for them and come to faith in Christ. In that context, they are given a foundation for living in a world that is incredibly complex and, let’s face it, increasingly problematic.

What to Expect

What are services like?
We are friendly, but not in your face. We are smiling and genuinely happy to be together. As you enter, there's a Cafe to your left with fresh coffee and some snacks. People will likely be standing around and talking. Nursery is just up the stairs and we encourage you to check on your "littles" at any point throughout the service. To your right, as you enter, is our worship area. It's contemporary- chairs rather than pews. Restrooms are located in the back of the worship area. Like most churches, we use screens to project the words for our worship and the Scriptures for the sermon. After the worship time, children are released to Children's Church. No, you don't have to send them out. You can keep them with you. And... if you do send them... feel free to check on them at any time. The third Sunday of the month, we keep the children in church with us so they can experience a full worship service.

What is the community like?
Authentic followers of Christ who know just how broken and jacked we are. And how good and gracious our God is. Our goal is always this: to seek to make much of Jesus. And to glorify God in all things. And... we promise that we'll fall short. But that God is still good and worthy of our worship.

What if I'm not a Christian?
This is a great place to come explore what you believe and ask questions in a safe environment.
