Hello and thanks for stopping by! We are so glad you're here and that you are thinking about worshiping with us!
Below is some information that we hope will help you feel comfortable and get the most out of your experience worshiping with us. If you have additional questions please don't hesistate to ask. You can email us at LLTOPEKA@GMAIL.COM or one of the greeters will be happy to assist you on Sunday morning:
When does church start?
Church starts at 10:30 but come a little bit early so you can get a cup of coffee and enjoy some fellowship before the service. We are a pretty social group; we like hanging out with each other and we love having visitors.
What is a worship service like?
We start with announcements and a call to worship, to get our hearts focused on meeting with Jesus. After that we sing a worship song, followed by a Biblically-focused teaching time which lasts about forty minutes. After that we sing some more (we like to sing) and then end with a benediction. On the first and third Sunday's we celebrate the Lord's table (communion), and one Sunday a month we hear a testimony from a church member which is always an encouraging time.
What kind of music do you play?
Our philosophy is that music is a tool to help draw us into worshipping God, so we believe the lyrics should be biblically rich and it should be easy to sing. We have three worship leaders and they each have individual styles; as a result we sing an eclectic mix of worship songs ranging from Hymns to CityAlight. There is a little something for everyone, no matter your taste in music.
Is there a nursery provided?
The infant (birth to age 2) nursery is staffed for Sunday school and the worship service.
What about Sunday school?
During the school year (Sept-May), Sunday school runs from 9:00 - 10:00, before the worship service.
Our children's Sunday school is arranged by age: 2 & 3 Year olds, Pre-K and Kindergarten, 1st & 2nd, 3rd & 4th, and 5th - 7th. There is also a Sunday school for 14-18 year olds.
Adult classes sometimes meet in the sanctuary or the north addition. We have a rotating roster of teachers who cover a variety of subjects ranging from Doctrine/Theology, Books of the Bible, to Current Events.
