Visitors’ Guide

What happens on a Sunday morning at Petra?

​That’s a great question! It's not always “fun” to go to a place for the first time and not know what’s going to happen. Will I have to stand up and introduce myself? (No.) Will the pastor call on me in the sermon? (No.) Will I be bored out of my mind?  (We hope not!)
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Pastor and Staff
Clothing
Wear what you are comfortable with in public. God looks at the heart so dress up or come casual it’s all good with us.
 
Offering
You’re our guest. We don’t want anyone giving to our church until they know what we stand for and have full confidence that we are going to use any gifts wisely and for the glory of God. So let that plate pass — guilt free!
Sermon Videos

Normal Sunday Schedule *

7:30-8:00 am and 10:00-10:30 am • Warm Up. Grab some complimentary coffee. Come into the sanctuary and listen to the music, take some time to think, pray, read the Bible, or get to know someone new.

9:15 am • This is when Sunday School, Youth Group, and the Adult Bible Class begin. Bible Class meets in the church sanctuary, the Youth Group and Sunday School meet in various classrooms and locations around the building. Youth Group is for students in 9th-12th; Sunday School is open to any child preK (3 and 4 year olds) through 8th grade.

8:00 am and 10:30 am • The service begins with song and prayer. Then we dig into God’s Word. The pastor leads us through a study in the Bible. This is where we get to really listen to what God is saying to us in our world and life. Our services celebrate the family of believers who have gone before us and praise God that countless people join them in our times. Because of that we use songs and elements of worship both traditional and contemporary.

9:00 am and 11:30 am • The services end after about an hour. Say "hi" to someone you don't know — they may be a lifelong member or brand new.  Have a great week!
the peace we have in Jesus
