What Can I Expect?
Where Do I Park?
Guest Parking is located on the South Side of the building, closest to the Main Entrance. Additional parking is available on the North side of the building.
What Happens When I Arrive?
You’ll be greeted at the door and given a Sunday bulletin. We also have freshly brewed hot coffee, tea and pastries in the lobby for you to enjoy while you wait for service to begin. Our greeters will be happy to help you find the right classroom for your children, find a seat in the auditorium or answer any questions you may have.
What About the Kids?
We have classes available for children during all of our services. We love children and desire to see them know God and the Bible. Additionally, we value teaching them to honor their parents. Our classes and children’s ministry personnel are ready to serve your children well!
What About Babies?
We love babies! If you have small children, we welcome you to bring them. We have a great nursery facility for infants through 36 months and loving workers to serve both you and your baby. If you would like to keep your baby in the service, you are welcome to do that as well. There is also a private nursing room for mothers.
What are Your Worship Services Like?
Our services are designed to maximize the possibility of your hearing a message from the Bible in a way that you can walk away and immediately apply it in your life situation. Our music worship team lead us both at the beginning and end of the service in pieces that complement the message. Our primary concern is that God is honored in the way we worship Him through careful handling of the Bible text, music, and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
Do You Embarrass Guests During the Service?
Not if we can help it! We generally don’t point out our guests during the service, or ask them to stand up. One of our friendly greeters will present you with a gift bag of Sonrise coffee that was blended right here in Ozark, as well as a simple Visitor Information Card that we ask for you to fill out and drop in the offering box near the auditorium exit or give back to the greeter. The information helps us keep track of where our visitors come from, what their needs are, and if they would like to know more about the church.
What is the Gospel
“There is no greater message to be heard than that which we call the Gospel. But as important as that is, it is often given to massive distortions or over simplifications. People think they’re preaching the Gospel to you when they tell you, ‘you can have a purpose to your life’, or that ‘you can have meaning to your life’, or that ‘you can have a personal relationship with Jesus.’ All of those things are true, and they’re all important, but they don’t get to the heart of the Gospel.
The Gospel is called the ‘good news’ because it addresses the most serious problem that you and I have as human beings, and that problem is simply this: God is holy and He is just, and I’m not. And at the end of my life, I’m going to stand before a just and holy God, and I’ll be judged. And I’ll be judged either on the basis of my own righteousness – or lack of it – or the righteousness of another. The good news of the Gospel is that Jesus lived a life of perfect righteousness, of perfect obedience to God, not for His own well being but for His people. He has done for me what I couldn’t possibly do for myself. But not only has He lived that life of perfect obedience, He offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice to satisfy the justice and the righteousness of God.
The great misconception in our day is this: that God isn’t concerned to protect His own integrity. He’s a kind of wishy-washy deity, who just waves a wand of forgiveness over everybody. No. For God to forgive you is a very costly matter. It cost the sacrifice of His own Son. So valuable was that sacrifice that God pronounced it valuable by raising Him from the dead – so that Christ died for us, He was raised for our justification. So the Gospel is something objective. It is the message of who Jesus is and what He did. And it also has a subjective dimension. How are the benefits of Jesus subjectively appropriated to us? How do I get it? The Bible makes it clear that we are justified not by our works, not by our efforts, not by our deeds, but by faith – and by faith alone. The only way you can receive the benefit of Christ’s life and death is by putting your trust in Him – and in Him alone. You do that, you’re declared just by God, you’re adopted into His family, you’re forgiven of all of your sins, and you have begun your pilgrimage for eternity.”
