We are so glad that you are considering a visit to our church. We hope that the following information will help to make your visit as pleasurable and meaningful as possible.

If you have any questions that are not answered in the section following, we strongly encourage you to contact our church office at (816) 842-2341 or email us at JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING .

Q: Who is welcome to worship at our church?
A: We believe that all persons are made in the likeness and image of God. We, therefore, welcome and encourage ALL people to join us for worship and fellowship regardless of race, economic, political or personal background. ALL ARE WELCOME TO WORSHIP HERE!

Q: How do I get to your Church?
A: We are conveniently located just North of the river in North Kansas City, Missouri. Driving down Armour Road, East of Burlington and West of I-35, you will notice a Subway and a Chinese Restaurant on the North side of Armour Road. These, essentially, sit in our South parking lot. Park wherever you are able and make your way to a variety of entrances. Click here for a map.

Q: Which service should I attend?
A: One of the things that we are most pleased to offer at our church is a variety of worship experiences for a variety of tastes.

• On Sunday morning at 8:30, we host a Traditional Worship Service featuring classic hymns, a vocal choir and a bell choir -- all nestled within a more classic liturgical format.
• At 11:00 on Sunday mornings, we enjoy a Praise & Worship Service with a Band and a more relaxed atmosphere.

Whatever your preference, we trust that your experience will be meaningful and life changing.

Q: When Should I Arrive for Service?
A: It is generally a good idea to arrive about ten minutes prior to posted starting times. This will ensure a great seat and will also help you to avoid walking in late. If you are a few minutes late, however, don't hesitate for a moment to enter in. We promise, you won't be the first!

Q: Do You Provide Childcare During Services?
A: The answer to this question is, "YES!" For both of our services and many of our weekly programs, we provide childcare or activities for children (infant through seven years of age). Children (of all ages) are ALWAYS welcome to join us in service, but we also want to offer this alternative for parents who need and desire to worship with the peace of mind of knowing that their children are being lovingly cared for elsewhere in the building. If we ever have a problem or a question about any child, we will not hesitate to carefully and discreetly notify you in the midst of service.

On Sunday mornings, most children (4 years to 1st grade) accompany their parents for the first twenty minutes of the service. After hearing a Children's Message, they are dismissed to S.E.E.K. (Spiritual Enrichment for Energetic Kids), where they will enjoy meaningful Bible studies and participate in engaging crafts and other activities. Parents reconnect with their children following the worship service.

There is also a program for 2nd through 5th grade called BLAST (Bible Learning And Sharing Together).   This group is dismissed along with the SEEK children in the Praise and Worship Service (11am service), but they go with a different adult and do an age appropriate lesson with Bible study.  This group also re-connects with their parents after the worship service. 

 Q: What Should I Wear?
A: We do not place much of an emphasis on clothing at our worship services. While many people attending our Sunday morning Traditional worship will wear ties or dresses, it is certainly not a requirement. Wear whatever is comfortable. Those attending the Praise & Worship service on Sunday will notice an even more casual atmosphere. Of course, we ask that all clothing be tasteful and considerate. We trust your judgment on this!

Q: Do You Offer Sunday-School Classes?
A: Of course we do! We have classes for every single age under the sun. We have little kids, growing kids, high school kids, young adults and adults of every other age. These classes meet from 10:00 to 10:45 every Sunday morning. If you are interested in visiting one and you don't know where to go, we suggest calling beforehand and requesting someone to guide you or just show up and ask around. We will be sure to get you to the right place! If ever in doubt, just ask someone to help you find the Pastor and he will gladly help you find a class!

Q: How often do you celebrate The Lord's Supper and Who Is Welcome?
A: We celebrate the Lord's Supper at every single service. It is something that is very important to us. Furthermore, we welcome ALL Christians to our table. If you believe, then you are welcome to receive. It's as simple as that. Christ didn't turn people away from his table of fellowship and neither do we.

Q: What if I Still Have Questions?
A: We pride ourselves on being a friendly and community-minded congregation. As such, feel free to ask any one you encounter whatever you may need to know. Even if they are unable to answer your question, they should at least be able to point you in the right direction. And, as always, you can contact the office at (816) 842-2341 or JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING .
