Service Times, Directions, and What to Expect Your First Visit

FIRST TIME VISITING?

We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating, and going to a new church for the first time can be nerve-wracking. We want to help make your first experience at Glad Tidings a great one!


Don't worry about what to wear - come as you are, we are very casual and diverse. Some will dress up. Some will dress casual. You can get a glimpse by checking our YouTube: https://youtube.com/@gladtidingschurchsundayser8275


If you're feeling ill, please get well, stay at home and watch us online on YouTube or on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gtfamilyRoc

And visit our Contact Us page to leave a prayer request; we believe Jesus is still healing people today!

Is there a dress code at GT?

Yes. Wear Clothes :-)


On that note: God doesn't require suits and ties, so neither do we! Feel free to dress-up or dress-down. It is the condition of a person's heart that matters, not the style of their clothes!  Sunday's at GT are pleasant, casual, and relaxed. Come as you are and expect to feel welcome.


What about my kids?

Our Nursery & Toddler Program (birth through 3 years) is not staffed at this time; however we keep our beautiful nursery room clean and ready for guests. Young mothers are able to have a clean, quiet, private place to care for their newborns/babies.


KidZone (ages 4-11) meets Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM, every 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th Sunday of the month.


We believe kids should have a blast at church - and at Glad Tidings, we make this a priority. Our other priority is your children’s safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for all our kid's programs. You’ll want to leave yourself an extra ten minutes or so to sign in for the GT Kids experience.


Although children are welcome to stay in the sanctuary during "Big People Church", we do ask parents to use discretion if their children are causing distraction during the preaching of the Bible; if so, consider utilizing the Kid's programs. Usually you and your children will have a much better experience if you do.

"Honestly, I was a little anxious attending Glad Tidings for the first time...a little unsure of what to expect. But as soon as I walked through the doors it felt like home."
