We know it can be stressful and awkward visiting a new church for the first time...
...so, we wanted to make it as easy as possible by giving you an idea of what you might find here at Home of Christ in Fremont!
When's church?
Where's the English sanctuary?
Once you've parked, you want to make your way to the nearest entrance.
If you're coming from the WEST entrance (closer to the FUSD school district building), the sanctuary is to the left as you enter the lobby.
If you're coming from the EAST (MAIN) entrance (closer to the MicroWaves office building), the sanctuary is just a short trip away. You can simply ask a friendly face for the English sanctuary, and they'll be happy to direct you to the right place.
You should see a friendly face next to the sanctuary doors available to give you more information and show you to an open seat.
What about my kids?
Great question!
Sunday School is held for children of 3 years old and older during the 11AM service. Each class is taught by caring members of Home of Christ 3 who lead each child to progressively discover who Jesus is and what the Bible is all about. All the children come together for a joint worship session at 12PM, hear a short message, take offering, and they end around 12:30PM (the same time the English service ends).
WHAT'S SERVICE LIKE?
Our focus on Sundays is glorifying/worshiping God and edifying the church body through preaching.
Our services are structured to be more reverential towards a Holy God, to help us get our eyes off of ourselves and onto Him. We're intentional about not striving to be perfect and adding a lot of pomp and pageantry to the service. Our worship is meant to be centered on God. We do have a worship team (vocalists, acoustic guitar, drums, and keyboard) that helps lead us into a time of musical worship prior to a gospel-centered sermon delivered by one of our amazing pastoral staff. We end the service with small group discussions.
Should i dress uP?
Most people dress according to their own comfort levels, but it’s entirely up to you. On Sunday mornings, you will find men and women in suits and dresses as well as in slacks, jeans and sandals. Of course, we do welcome people to dress in a fashion that they believe honors God in the best way possible. After all, we're here to worship a Holy God!
WILL I HAVE TO STAND UP?
Fortunately for you, no! We don’t want to embarrass you by singling you out like that. BUT we would ask that you fill out the welcome card given to you by the ushers, pastoral staff, or any of our delightful members so that we can get to know you better, send you more information about HOC3, and answer any specific questions you might have.
If you request prayer or a pastoral visit, we would like to accommodate your needs.
