We’d love to have you worship with us. Here’s what you can expect to find if you join us on a Sunday:
Who attends Penney?
We are an intergenerational church, made up of children and young people and adults up into their 90's. We aim to be friendly and active, but we aren't perfect. We all have flaws and failings, but we have found salvation, hope and joy in the person of Jesus. He's the one who first found us and who brings us all together.
What should i wear?
We welcome you to come as you are. The attire at Penney ranges from jeans to dresses to suits and ties. We're more concerned with the God we have come to worship and the value of each person who walks through the door than we are about outward appearances.
is there something for my children?
Yes! Nursery is provided during the service for children from 3 months to 3 years old.Children from 4 years old to the 2nd grade join us for the first half of the worship service. We are an intergenerational church and value having the youngest members of the body participate and be included in our worship gathering. Sermon Sacks are available, with activities to help our young ones during the time they are in the service.
Right before the sermon, children in preschool through 2nd grade are dismissed for Children’s Church. Parents can pick them up there after the service is over.
We aim for a service that is warm and welcoming, while being reverent and joyful, and all centered on God and the Gospel. Our service includes readings from Scripture, times of prayer, music and preaching.
We love music at Penney, and we love singing together great songs that celebrate the good news and unite the generations. Our music ranges from more contemporary praise music to traditional hymns, led by a variety of instruments. Through much of the year, our wonderful vocal choir sings during the service as well.
Our pastor preaches biblical sermons that aim to clearly communicate the truth of the text, while practically connecting to our world and our lives. Sermons are typically part of a series that moves us through a book of the Bible, with an occasional series addressing particular topics.
