I WAS NEW HERE ONCE, TOO. HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
What time does the Service start?
The service starts at 11:00 am
The Service usually lasts until about 12:10-12:25 pm.
What should I wear?
Whatever you’re comfortable in. Modesty in dress is really our only requirement. Our attendees dress casual, business casual, or suits/ties/dresses.
What is the Service like?
I’m bringing my children. Do they sit with me or are there special programs available to them during the Service?
Some people want their children to attend the regular worship service, others opt for an age-appropriate program: Nursery, Tiny Tots (2's & 3's), Children's Church (4's & 5's, K & 1st grade), Junior Church (2nd-5th grade). It's whatever the parents and children prefer.
Do I need to bring a Bible?
Some people choose to bring a Bible. The scriptures are visible on the large monitors at the front of the church. We also have “pew bibles” available for use during the service.
I’ve been to some churches in the past that have various rituals during the services; will I be able to follow along with the rest of the people?
Not to worry. We don’t really follow any rituals during a typical service. We have a fairly relaxed atmosphere. You’ll find a very warm and welcoming group of believers at IBC.

What is the Service like?
- We sing a combination of modern worships songs, hymns, and choruses (usually around 4 songs). Songs, scripture, the pastor's sermon points, and all other pertinent information is visible on two large monitors at the front of the church.
- We have prayer together.
- The pastor preaches directly from the Bible, giving the meaning of the passage of scripture and an application to our everyday life. The pastor has an "expository" style, meaning he prefers to preach verse-by-verse through a book of the Bible.
- We have a coffee bar and time for fellowship before and after the service. There is a welcoming and friendly atmosphere in the church.
