WELCOME
Welcome!
We’ve been waiting for you! It’s true because we believe that every person who comes into the circle of this special fellowship was sent by God himself. So, above all else, we want to express Christ’s love to you with genuine, heartfelt warmth. We’re eager to know you, and we’re excited to share with you the ways God is working in Conley's.
We understand that it can be uncomfortable walking into a new place, so we offer the following answers to some frequently asked questions to help you feel more at ease. Please feel free to call or email with any other questions you may have.
Where do I park?
There is ample parking in the lot surrounding the church building.
How should I dress?
Dress how you feel is comfortable and appropriate for worship. You will see both casual and formal attire in our service on Sunday morning.
Will there be someone on hand to help newcomers know where to go or what to do?
Yes. Greeters will meet you at the doors of the sanctuary. Let them know that you are new and they will give you a welcome bag with helpful information about Conley's and be happy to assist you in any way.
Are the worship services easy to follow?
Yes. Bulletins are provided so that everyone can fully participate. A current Order of Worship may be viewed here.
How long do worship services last?
The services usually last about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes; on Communion Sundays, the service might last a little longer. Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of every month.
How long are the sermons?
The sermons typically last about 25 minutes.
Will I be singled out as a newcomer?
No. You will not be singled out, but you will be offered a welcome bag containing helpful information about the church and a small gift as a token of how happy we are to make your acquaintance.
Will I be expected to give money?
No. We believe that presenting our tithes and offerings to God through the church is an act of worship; therefore, we provide an offering box in our sanctuary and a donate button on this website for this purpose. However, giving is not required and is left entirely to the discretion of the individual.
May I celebrate communion even though I'm not a member?
Yes. The United Methodist Church believes the communion table is the Lord's table, not ours; therefore, we practice "open communion." This means that all who love Jesus Christ, who earnestly repent of their sin, and who seek to live in peace with others are invited to participate--regardless of church affiliation.
Are the facilities handicapped friendly?
Yes. The building is fully accessible by wheelchair ramps and is all on one floor. We also have wireless assistive listening devices available for the hearing impaired.
Is there a nursery or other activities for small children?
We believe that Jesus’ directive to his disciples in Matthew 19:14, “Let the children come to me”, instructs us in corporate worship. Children are always welcome in our sanctuary! We want our children--regardless of age--to grow up in the presence of their whole church family, learning congregational worship by the example of parents and other believers of all ages. An activity book is provided to help keep children engaged throughout the service and to take home with them. We have a nursery room where parents/guardians may take their children if they feel the child is becoming disruptive and hindering the worship of others . . . but please come back! The church is encouraged by the energy and enthusiasm of youth in the midst of our worship.
