We want you to be happy when you attend our church, see (Psalm 122:1). If you are visiting this page, it means you probably have some questions and you are looking for some answers. We understand it can be hard to visit a church for the first time. You might ask yourself the following questions:
"What's going on here?" "What is going to happen when I walk through the front door?" "How will I know where to go and what to do when I get there?" "What will I do with my children?" "What should I wear?" "What will the service be like?" All kinds of unknown factors can make the church seem very intimidating. We hope to answer some of the questions you might have about our church before you visit. Even some of the people we read about in the Bible had questions about things that bothered them. All of us at the Celebration Temple of God truly hope to make your visit with us relaxed, enriching, and exciting.

Where do I park?
Parking is curbside around the church. Please use this area, as we are honored to have you as our guest.
How should I dress?
Our church leadership typically wears business casual attire. We invite you to come dressed in modest, comfortable clothing that reflects your personal style and reverence for being in the presence of God.
Dress up a little. It is generally customary to wear nice clothes when attending churches of all kinds. Some churches have more relaxed dress codes, while others are quite formal,
Many churches have no formal dress code, but it is usually still a good idea to put on something nice when you are attending church. A three-piece suit or a formal gown is not necessary, but at least avoid flip-flops, jeans, and cargo shorts.
The Bible does give us a dress code on what we should not wear, see (Deuteronomy 22:5). Let what you wear to church be for the love of the Lord. The choice of dress, be It modest, casual, or a more business look, should be acceptable to God in His House of Worship.
What should I bring with me?
You don’t need to bring anything but yourself—but you’re more than welcome to bring your questions, your doubts, your friends, your family, and anyone else you’d like to share the experience with. At the Celebration Temple of God, our doors, hearts, and minds are open, and we’re truly excited to welcome you here!
Do I have to stand and say something?
Absolutely not! We promise you won’t be put on the spot or made to feel uncomfortable in any way. Our goal is to create a welcoming, relaxed environment where you feel truly at home. Church should be a joyful, uplifting experience, and we’re committed to making sure yours is just that. Everything we do is designed to help you learn more about your Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, in a way that’s meaningful, respectful, and encouraging.
I know my child(ren) are going to be too noisy; what should I do?
Jesus had something to say about this in the Bible, see (Mark 10:13-16). Our congregation is much like a family with infants, kids, teens, adults, and the elderly. It is not unusual to hear the cry of a baby mixed in with the sound of hymns and readings. We have activity bags for the children, so they may take part during the worship service.
I know I will feel out of place.
If you have a question, please ask someone for help. Do not hesitate to say, "I am new here. Can you help me?" We can assure you our church members are more than willing to help!
I am afraid I will say or do something wrong.
You are not alone! Just look up some of the people in the Bible. All of us, at one time or another, have felt this way in a new or strange situation. We hope you will see that the people at the Celebration Temple of God are ordinary people like yourself. We want to accept you as you are and help you become what Christ wants you to be; that way we can help each other by sharing his love.
I do not know that much about the Bible.
Our worship and Bible study are ways to grow in the knowledge of the Bible and faith in Jesus. You will not have to answer any questions you do not want to answer. Do not forget that sometimes the wisest words to say are, "I don't know, but I'm willing to learn." We hope this page has answered any questions or concerns you might have. Please ask if you have any unanswered questions. We look forward to welcoming you here!
