A Message to our Guests

 

Welcome to Kirtland Christian Fellowship!

KCF is a caring, Christ-centered church family where no one stands alone as we bring the Love and Good News of Jesus Christ to the world.

 

On Sunday mornings our church family and our guests come together to celebrate who God is and what He has done in our lives!  Here are some things you can expect today...

 

*      A loving family atmosphere.  All are welcome!  God’s love is for everyone!

 

*      A time to greet one another.    Near the beginning of our celebration we take some time to greet one another.  We hope you find this to be a non-threatening way to get to know us!

 

*      A time of praise and worship music.  During this time you are free to connect with God in your own way.  No one is expected to behave in a particular way.

 

*      A time to learn about God through the Bible.  The message will focus on real life issues from a biblical perspective.  Feel free to contact Pastor Tim after our celebration or during the week with any questions you might have about the message.

 

If you have a prayer request, feel free to fill out a prayer card and leave it on your seat as you leave the sanctuary.  A prayer email is sent out on Monday so our church family can pray for the needs on the prayer cards.  If our church family can assist you in anyway, please feel free to call the church office and our staff will assist you!

 

Children’s Ministry:

We welcome your children (age’s nursery – 6th grade) to our children’s ministry known as “Adventureland.”  We desire to share the love of Jesus with your children in a fun, safe environment. Our program consists of nearly 40 adult volunteers who love Jesus and love children!  The quality of our staff is very important. Our teachers attend leadership/teacher training workshops throughout the year. 

 

Parents of children nursery thru Pre-k are invited to drop their children off at their classrooms, prior to the 10:00 am start of the service. Children in the K thru 6th grade will be dismissed to Kid’s Church just prior to the message.  As a courtesy to our teachers, please pick-up your children after completion of our worship celebration.
