Seaport FAQ's
What should I expect when I come? When you drive into the parking lot, you will find a brand new church building! As you enter, you will be warmly greeted and find directions to restrooms, children's programs and the sanctuary. For more, go to "What can I expect?"
Is this a Christian church, or something else? Though non-traditional in style, Seaport Community Church is deeply committed to the eternal truths of the Christian faith. Our vision is simple: we are becoming a church that effectively represents Christ's love in an ever-changing culture. Our mission is equally clear: to help people discover and experience the life-changing love of God.
What kind of church is this? Seaport Community Church is a place designed to serve both Christians and those who consider themselves spiritual seekers. It's a safe place for people who are looking for answers to their spiritual questions, and simply want to check out Christianity without anyone pressuring them. It's also a place where those who have decided to follow Jesus Christ can learn and be encouraged in their spiritual growth. We are affiliated with the Assemblies of God, which gives plenty of freedom to be what we need to be while providing wise counsel, resources, accountability and relationship.
What should I wear? There really is no dress code! You will find people dressed in a varied range from casual attire to business suits.
How long will the service last? About 90 minutes, and we guarantee you will not be bored!
What will the service be like? If you have little ones under the age of 36 months, you may check them into our nursery before service begins. Your Sr. high teens may go to their age appropriate meeting in the Fellowship Hall. Then just make your way into the auditorium. Children age 3 to 8th grade will attend the first part of the service with you then be dismissed to their classes.
At 10 AM you will experience God in a variety of ways. Seaport might be a little different from what you're used to in a church. Multi-media, humorous dramas, contemporary music and practical messages aimed at real life issues are used to present the timeless truths of Scripture at an introductory level easily understood by spiritual beginners and seasoned followers alike.
Will I have to say anything, sign anything, give anything, or be singled out in any way? Rest assured that you won't be put on the spot, singled-out, or embarrassed. We will give you a free gift if you desire to complete the "Friendship and Communication" card provided in the program. Though we do receive an offering, we don't want anyone to feel obligated to give--the service is our gift to you! We do like to collect some basic information from people, but if you'd prefer not to give it that's all right with us. However, for security reasons, we do require some basic information if you decide to send your children to our nursery.
What about my kids - do they come in with me, or is there something going on for them? Our children's ministry provides an exciting, quality experience for your birth to sixth grade children simultaneously with each and every service. We also offer "COLLISION", a program just for Jr. and Sr. High Youth. Our kids programs allow you to maximize your experience at Seaport Community Church, while your children/teens are receiving high-levels of care and attention. All of our workers are carefully screened because we care about your kids!
Do you have ministries for adults? We offer a large slate of ministries for all adults that are designed to facilitate your spiritual, emotional, and relational growth.
