What time is the service?
We gather on Sunday mornings at 10am to celebrate who Jesus is and what He's doing in our lives. Our physical address is CMA Church 306 Devor St, Greenville, Ohio 45331.
How do I dress?
Our church is truly an informal, come-as-you-are church. People wear anything from jeans and t-shirts to a suit and tie. Our pastor typical wears dark jeans and a dress shirt or polo. We want you to connect with Jesus through the worship and message, and not be worried about what you're wearing. No one will judge you, so come as you are.
What happens during the service?
For the most part our service begins with singing contemporary worship songs, then a brief time of welcome and announcements, followed by a time of praying for one another. Then we'll open God's word together and seek to understand what the passage is saying and how it applies to our lives today. Our gathering time finishes with a reflective song, or with Communion and singing if it's the first Sunday of the month.
Am I expected to give an offering (money)?
Whether you are a visitor or a regular attender, we expect you to follow what God wants you to do. Our church does not tell people what to give or how much to give; however, God does tell us, so we want people to respond in how He leads them. When you enter the sanctuary, there is an offering box by the sound booth that people are able to place an offering into (envelopes are also provided). All giving goes towards the local and global mission of God.
What are the messages like?
Typically, our pastor teaches through a book of the Bible, seeking to learn God's message and application for us today. Other times we teach on Biblical themes or doctrines of the faith. The point of every message is always to "equip the church to do the work of the ministry," and we strive to do this intentionally and practically.
What bible translation do you use?
As a church, we use the ESV Bible, but people are free to use whichever translation is easier for them. Within each pew are ESV Bibles for those that do not have a bible with them.
Where do I park? Is there handicap access?
There is reserved parking for those who are in need of assistance available behind the church. From there, a ramp provides access into the Fellowship Hall, where you can access restrooms and entrance into the sanctuary. Regular parking is available along Devor Street and in the open parking lot across the street from the church.
