What to Expect

Warm Welcome

From the moment you arrive, you'll find friendly people ready to welcome you and help you find your way.

Come As You Are

Whether you dress casually or more traditionally, you are welcome at Countryside. There is no special dress expectation for visitors.

Traditional Worship

Our services include choir music, occasional special music, and congregational hymns and Gospel songs.

Biblical Preaching

Pastor John teaches through the Bible book by book, with Jesus Christ and the Word of God at the center.

Questions Are Welcome

Questions are encouraged after every service. If something in the message raises a question, you're welcome to ask.

Families & Children

Children are welcome to attend with their families. We do not currently have a formal staffed nursery, and someone will be glad to help you if you have questions when you arrive.

Parking & Arrival

You may park in either parking area. There are entrances available from both sides of the church, including the covered canopy entrance. If you're unsure where to go, one of our greeters will be glad to help.
