For those visiting a church for the first time, you likely have many questions. We\u2019ve compiled some frequently asked questions and their answers below.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
What happens during a worship service?<\/div>\n
\n

\nWe focus our hearts on the one true God who created us.<\/span>
\nDuring the service, we calm our hearts with organ or piano music, pray (about 5 minutes), sing hymns (2-3 songs with organ or other accompaniment), read the Bible (5-10 minutes), listen to a message from the pastor based on the Bible reading (30-40 minutes), and have an offering (voluntary, not mandatory).<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
Who attends worship services?<\/div>\n
\n

\nAnyone is welcome to attend. From babies to the elderly, those who want to hear about God or learn about the Bible are warmly invited. Mothers with children are also welcome to come without hesitation.<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
Do I need to make a reservation to attend a worship service?<\/div>\n
\n

\nNo reservation is needed. You are free to come anytime, even just once.<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
Is there an admission fee?<\/div>\n
\n

\nNo admission fee is required. There is a time for offerings during the service, but participation is voluntary.<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
What should I wear or bring?<\/div>\n
\n

\nWear regular outing clothes. We use the Bible and hymnals during the service, but these are provided by the church and displayed on a screen, so you can come empty-handed.<\/span>
