First time visiting?
We're glad you're thinking about joining us.
Whatever brought you here — curiosity, looking for a new church home, or somewhere in between — we want you to feel welcome. Here's everything you need to know before walking through the doors.
The essentials, at a glance
What worship is actually like
Our services are casual and traditional — relaxed in atmosphere, recognizable in form. Here's roughly how a Sunday morning unfolds.
-
Sunday School
Classes for all ages start before worship. Classrooms are clearly marked; if you're not sure where to go, just ask anyone in the lobby.
-
Arrive and settle
You'll be welcomed at the door. Grab a bulletin, find a seat — there's no assigned seating and no "regulars' pews." Sit anywhere that feels comfortable.
-
Worship begins
We follow a liturgical order of worship that includes singing classic hymns with contemporary arrangements, hearing God's Word read and proclaimed, prayer, and an offering. Midway through, there's a special time for children before they're invited to either stay with their parents or go to the nursery.
-
Snacks and fellowship
Stick around. We have coffee, light snacks, and conversation in the fellowship area after worship every week. This is a great chance to introduce yourself and meet a few people.
What about my kids?
Children are welcome in worship at YPPC. We also have a nursery for first grade and below, and a special time for children midway through every service.
Here's how it works
- Nursery available for children in first grade and below, staffed every Sunday.
- Children's worship bags and bulletins available at the entrance to help kids participate in worship.
- Children's Time happens midway through each service — a moment for kids to come forward.
- After Children's Time, kids first grade and under may go to the nursery; older children stay with parents.
- Sunday School classes for children at 9:45 a.m.
A few more things people ask
The remaining questions visitors most often have, answered plainly.
- What should I wear?
- Whatever you'd wear out to brunch with friends. Some folks dress up, most don't — both are welcome.
- Will I be asked to stand up or introduce myself?
- No. We don't single out visitors during worship. You're welcome to stay as anonymous as you'd like for as long as you'd like.
- What if I'm not sure I believe?
- You're still welcome. People come to YPPC at every stage of faith — including curious, uncertain, and exploring. We respect honest questions.
- Is there anywhere I can listen first?
- Yes. Our past services are available on YouTube — you can sample what a service looks and sounds like before you come.
- What if I have other questions?
- Reach out anytime. Email office@yppc.org or call the church office at (843) 744-2268.
