What To Expect

We’re so glad you’re considering joining us! Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or this is your first time, we want you to feel at home!

Where  to go when you arrive 

When you arrive, look for the Abiding Word (AW) sign and drive past the AW Kidz building through the tree-lined area until you see the main building with the large green AW sign. Our friendly parking attendants will help you find a spot, and once inside, greeters and ushers will guide you to the sanctuary and a comfortable seat.

First Time Guest 

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with warmth and kindness. During service, first-time guests are simply thanked—we’re just glad you’re here. Afterward, look for the VIP sign to meet our Pastor and First Lady and receive a small gift. We’re honored you joined us and hope you leave feeling loved and encouraged.

Flow of Service

Our Sunday service includes exhortation, praise and worship, a welcome song, announcements, offering, the message, and a closing benediction, with Holy Communion on First Sundays. Afterward, many stay to fellowship in the lobby or enjoy a pre-ordered meal together. We also meet on Wednesdays from 7:00–8:00 PM for Bible Study, a time of prayer, teaching, and open discussion.

What to wear

At our church, you'll see a variety of styles — from jeans and t-shirts to business casual and Sunday best.  We just encourage you to wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and ready to worship.

Children’s/youth ministry

We provide a safe, fun, and faith-filled environment for children and teens. During the service, they enjoy age-appropriate worship, Bible teaching, and activities designed to help them grow in their relationship with God. Kids and teens can be checked in and picked up at their designated areas before and after service.

Service times & how long they usually last 

Our Sunday worship service begins at 10:00 AM and typically lasts about two hours, though we leave room for the Holy Spirit to move as He leads. It’s a time of meaningful worship and encountering God together. We also gather on Wednesdays from 7:00–8:00 PM for Bible Study, where we dive deeper into the Word and grow in faith as a community.
