Family Church Marco

At The Family Church, we look forward to meeting you! Here's a few tidbits to let you know a little more about us before your first visit:

Our Sunday Worship Gathering provides biblically centered, God-focused worship and teaching. Most often we teach the Scripture verse-by-verse to communicate the foundational truths of the Gospel, and how to apply these truths to everyday life.

You can expect the worship service to last approximately one hour and 15 minutes, but you'll find many like to stick around and visit for some time after that. Our desire is that you will leave personally challenged, and motivated to be transformed into the likeness of Christ.

Dress:
"Will I be overdressed? Will I be underdressed?" Even though it really shouldn't matter, this is an area that can be very intimidating for your first visit to any church. The Family Church is a place where you may see some folks in their "Sunday Best" ... but most will be in a more "island casual" attire.

Children in the Service:
As our name suggests, we love families! We do have Children's Ministry available, but children are always welcome to be in the service with their parents. If you find your little one with a particularly fussy moment, just at the foot of the stairs, the Family Room, is available with couches and a screen keeping you part of the service ... just in case.

Worship:
Worship is so much more than just singing songs, or a prelude to the sermon. The musical part of our worship gathering is an intentional and reverant time to individually and corporately prepare our hearts to receive the message.

Whether it's an "old classic hymn" or one more recently penned, time and prayer go into the song selection each week. We are very intentional to worship the Lord with songs that accurately reflect the Word of God as we lift our voices to to bring glory to Him.

Our song selection varies, as does the style and tempo. The Bible speaks of worshipping with the harp and lyre, as well as the clashing of symbols. You will find clapping, raising hands, and quiet reflection all a normal part of our corporate worship.

Teaching:
Matthew 28:19-20 instructs us, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

At The Family Church, we realize that as important as it is to "go," the action verb is to "make" ... Our desire is to invest in people, just as Christ did, in order to make disciples that will in turn multiply and make disciples of all nations. Our teaching reflects this.

See you Sunday!
