Going someplace new is a little uncomfortable for all but the most extroverted people, so let me tell you a little bit about what you can expect. (I’m going to add pictures just as soon as I take them!)
Getting situated
We meet in a building that is… unique. I recently heard it described as “more school cafeteria than typical church.” That works for us. 
Hopefully the first thing you’ll notice when you come in is the friendly folks at the door. If you have any questions (where the kids’ classes are, or the bathroom!, or when things get started, or you know, the meaning of life…) these folks are your new best friends. They’ll get you pointed in the right direction.
Our main gathering happens in a big room with lots of round tables. Don’t be afraid of the tables. We use them to keep things real and encourage interaction, but you can do that at your own pace.
Pick one with a few people and sit down. If you’re a small-talk-y kind of person, make a little. Otherwise, there will be a point during the service when you’ll get a chance to introduce yourself with an “official” (ha ha) question… basically a break-the-ice kind of thing that is very helpful to introverts like me!
What to wear
We’re serious about worship, but we’re also a diverse group of people who have a broad range of styles and preferences.
In general, we tend to be a little more casual than what a lot of people think of when they think of church. You’ll be perfectly comfortable if you come in jeans or khakis… most of us do.
That said, wear whatever you like. Some people like the formality of suits or dresses, and lots of other people wear shorts and flip flops. It’s all good, and people won’t look at you funny either way. Well, you might get a little ribbing if you wear a tie, but it’s good-natured. 
The music
Music is a big part of what we do. The style tends to be energetic and lively for the most part, with some occasional slower, more contemplative songs. If you listen to KTSY, a lot of the songs will be familiar. The music usually goes for a half-hour or so.
A lot of times someone will suggest that you stand or sit or clap, but we really mean these as suggestions. If you’re uncomfortable with something (I, for one, can’t seem to sing and clap at the same time), you don’t have to do it.
The preaching
Our pastor, Anthony Thomsen, is loud, funny, and passionate about what he believes. The result is engaging preaching with depth, punctuated by relevant anecdotes and occasional tangents.
The sermons usually last between 20 and 30 minutes, and you won’t get bored if you’re paying attention.
The food
If you think we like music, just wait until you see us around food.
Snacks are provided at the 10am Coffee Shop Conversations Bible study, and lunch is available after the 11:15am service on the first Saturday of each month. (Some people come early and just make a day of it. ) We have scheduled teams of people who bring the food to share with everyone, so don’t feel weird about digging in!
