The Friendly Church in the Friendly City

At Campton Heights we feel that it is our responsibility to make you comfortable as you visit our church. We want you to be able to enjoy the music, feel free to listen to the sermon, and relax, knowing that your kids are well taken care of. Our people are warm and open, we always have a friendly usher at the door who is more than willing to answer your questions or guide you.

We have two worship experiences to offer you. At 9:00 am we have our "Traditional Service". This service features hymns (with a few choruses), and a more structured worship time. It may include the Doxology and a Benediction as elements. At 11:00 am we have our "Contemporary Service". This service is a little more informal, the music is a little livelier and newer - it is not "hard rock" (sorry kids). The music will usually be accompanied by drums, a bass guitar, an acoustic guitar, and an electronic keyboard. The same sermon will be given at each service.

Nursery care will be provided for both services and usually kids from 3 yrs to 6th grade will be dismissed before the sermon. They will be participating in a structured program learning Bible lessons.

Our goal is to give you a positive worship experience. Our hope is that you will leave church feeling refreshed and revitalized, knowing that God was present and honored.

We believe that children are an incredible gift from God!

We know that one of a family's biggest concerns is the safety of their children. All of our children's ministry workers have been trained and screened. No newcomers are ever asked to work in a position where they are responsible for children. Our Child Abuse Prevention Program requires that all children's ministry workers be screened, fingerprinted, and have been attending our church for at least six months. We always have at least two workers with any children that are in our care.

We have invested in a pager system that allows the nursery workers to page parents in the event that their infant or toddler should need them. In fact the pager also acts as an identification tag. In order to get your child out of the nursery, you must return the pager. No pager, no baby. This protects our most vulnerable charges from being picked up by someone who has no right or authority to have that child. We take your child's safety seriously.

We promise to welcome you with a smile no matter what you choose to wear. We want you to be comfortable. We are more concerned with meeting your needs than with your clothing. Casual dress is the order of the day. In fact, you will frequently find our Deacons wearing Hawaiian shirts.

Casual is okay.

While it obviously takes money to run a church, we believe that God will provide whatever is needed to meet the needs of our church. We believe that it is the responsibility of God's people to give from whatever God has given them. We would ask you as a visitor to not put anything in the offering plate. We believe that financial giving should be done out of a feeling of gratitude to God, and never because of guilt or pressure.
