You will be given a visitor's packet when you come to worship. You filling out the information is totally up to you. If you do place it in the offering plate. We take your information and send you a letter thanking you for your visit and our Minister of Worship and Church Adminstration will give you a call and speak to you about how you enjoyed your visit and will ask you when a good time is for us to come and visit you. No poping in on you. You tell us when you are ready.
