New to C@C?
If so, we'd like to extend a warm
Welcome and we hope you'll join us soon.
Exploring this website will tell you more
About Us. Here are answers to some questions you may have about our
Weekend Gatherings.
When is your
service?
We have two
Services on Sunday at 8:50 and 10am. On
Saturday Nite we gather from
6:30 until 8pm. Our services are designed for maximum spiritual impact for
everyone. After both services we have
time for coffee and fellowship.
How should I dress?
Comfortably! Come casual or dress up a little. People wear anything from shorts and jeans to
dresses and sport coats, but you'll see very few ties!
Do I need to bring anything?
No.
If you want to bring a Bible, feel free to do so, although
bibles are provided at each seat. We project songs and
message powerpoint slides on
overhead screens in the Ministry Center.
Can I remain anonymous?
Absolutely! We realize that many people want to check out a church without calling attention
to themselves. However, you may want to fill out a Communication card
and hand it in at the Welcome Center. You will receive a
complimentary C@C mug and a gift certificate to The Village
Smithy.
Do you ask for money?
We don't "pass the plate" during our weekend services. Instead,
an offering box is placed in the lobby to receive these
contributions, or you can mail a check or use your credit card
through the church office.
What
are your services like?
While services vary from week to
week, each service includes worship with singing,
announcements, special music, a sermon, and prayer.
Other elements often include drama, video clips and visual
art. The evening service is a different time, different feel,
different music, same message, enhanced fellowship.
What is the music like?
Our
music is contemporary and upbeat and we encourage each person
to express to God what we feel from our hearts in a way that
is most meaningful and comfortable for the individual. We
combine a balance of old and new in a contemporary praise setting. Led by a team of musicians,
our services are a time of corporate, intimate communion with God. The worship team includes
vocalists, guitars, keyboard and drums. The team draws from various styles of music to unite
us in worship, celebration, and praise.
What does your church believe?
We
believe that the Bible is uniquely God-inspired and without error. We believe that there is one
God, eternally existing in three persons -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe
that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross
as our substitute. He then rose again, conquering death. This allows eternal salvation for
all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. You can read more about this at "Our Beliefs".
Where is your church going?
At Church @ Carbondale we have defined answers
to the questions "why do we exist?” (our permanent Purpose),
“what it will look like when we are complete” (our future
Vision), “how we accomplish our purpose and reach our
vision” (our present Mission).
For more on this please visit "Our
Vision".
