FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
How
long are the worship services?
Typically, our worship service lasts 1 1/2 hours. Sometimes they
are shorter or slightly longer, but we average 90 minutes.
What should I expect during the typical service?
Expect a miracle! During every worship service we believe for
the Spirit of God to appear and touch the lives of God’s
people.
We do have
a format that includes singing and preaching, receiving an offering
(money given by members) and giving people the opportunity to
confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. People lift their hands,
and they may even shout a healthy “amen” during the
message. At times we pray together as a congregation or have people
come forward to receive prayer.
Does
Family Worship Center believe I can be forgiven for my bad deeds,
no matter what?
Yes. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God, but God
so loved the world that He gave His only son, that anyone who
believes in Him should live eternally.
Does
Family Worship Center believe I can “speak in tongues?”
Absolutely! The promise of the Holy Spirit and subsequent speaking
in an unknown tongue is a biblical promise to you, your children
and your children’s children.
-If this is
something you don’t understand, a Pastor always stays at
the platform after the service to answer questions and offer prayer.
Does
Family Worship Center believe God creates devastation, kills people
and brings hardship into the lives of people for His divine purposes?
NO! The Word of God teaches us clearly in the Bible that every
good and perfect gift comes from God. It is Satan (a dark angel
cast from heaven) who steals, kills and destroys. God sent His
son, Jesus Christ to bring abundant life to all of us. We like
to explain it this way: “draw a line down the middle of
your life, if it is good- it is God, if it is bad- it is not God!”
