What Time is Worship?
We currently have one service on Sunday mornings beginning at 9:30AM. Our Hospitality Room opens at 9:00AM for coffee and fellowship.
What is Sunday Worship Like?
Every Sunday worship service includes singing a mixture of hymns and modern Biblical music, announcements, teaching from Scripture, and partaking of the Lord’s Supper.
At Edify, our table for the Lord's Supper includes three stations: two stations with wine and bread and one station with grape juice and bread. While we understand that some churches only provide grape juice, we are convinced by Scripture that wine is the most faithful option. This does not mean we condemn other churches for using only grape juice, and we are certainly aware of all the questions and concerns involved. We do, however, provide a station with grape juice and bread for those who are unconvinced that wine should be used, or for those who believe that drinking wine would damage their conscience.

What is the Dress Code?
There is no specific set dress code at Edify Church. Most of the congregation usually dresses casually. With that said, we ask that all dress in accordance with the principles found in 1 Timothy 2:9-10:
“…likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.”
Although this text is specifically addressed to women, the principles apply to everyone. These principles are 1) to dress in a modest way which displays self-control, 2) to dress in a way that does not bring unnecessary attention to oneself and distract others from the worship of God, and 3) to focus more on our actions bringing glory to God rather than what we wear.

What About My Kiddos?
Sunday School is available for kiddos ranging from infants to 5th Grade. It runs from the beginning of Sunday service to the end of service. Parents are expected to check-in and check-out their kiddos. Any kiddos 6th grade and older are expected to join the adults in the sanctuary for regular Sunday service.
