Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I expect on my first visit?

  We can't wait to meet you! Plan to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early so you have time to park, check-in your kids, grab a coffee, and find a good seat! We strive to create a warm, welcoming environment and hope you feel right at home! Services last about an hour or so, and include worship music followed by a powerful message from the Bible! Services are generally upbeat with modern music and you’ll see people dressed casually, so just come as you are!

• What should I wear?

  Whatever's comfortable, but most dress casual. We care way more about you being here than what you're wearing!

• Is there anything for my kids?

  Yes! Kid Experience runs during each weekend worship service for kids birth through 5th grade. It's a safe, fun, age-appropriate environment where your kids will learn about Jesus and build friendships through activities, worship songs, creative teaching, and group discussion. We have a quick check-in area where you’ll register your family on your first visit, then briefly check-in on successive visits. Our goal is for your child to have a great time at church, make some positive friendships, and most of all grow closer to Jesus!

• What are your beliefs?

  Church Experience is a non-denominational Bible-teaching Christian church with beliefs firmly established on the Bible.

  You can read our full beliefs statement here.

• What translation of the Bible do you recommend?

  There are many great English translations of the Bible, but in our CE weekend worship experiences we primarily use the New International Version (NIV) which is/has been the most widely used translation in English.

• Who is the preacher at your church?

  Church Experience is passionate about live, local preaching at each CE location. In order to stay connected as “one church” our Senior Pastor does preach through video to all CE locations about once a month at least for part of the message, while the majority of the preaching is in-person from our amazing local CE pastors. Each campus benefits from the same teaching series theme across the whole church, regardless of who is preaching that weekend.

  You can learn more about our collective CE story and vision here.

• What's the difference between your Senior Pastor and Lead Pastor?

  Every CE campus has a Lead Pastor, but our whole church is led by our Senior Pastors, Brandon & Jennifer Bruce. A CE “Lead Pastor” is similar to a “Campus Pastor” (but also unique) from other multi-site churches. Church Experience has empowered our Lead Pastors at each campus to preach most of the time and make many leadership decisions at a local level. Each campus is not autonomous so the “Lead Pastors” do serve under the authority and accountability of Church Experience Senior Leadership (CE Board of Directors, Senior Pastors, & Senior Leadership Team). This combination of a pastor at the campus along with accountability outside the local campus allows lots of leadership decisions to be made locally, while also providing sufficient support, protection, and sustainability for the campus and CE as a united church. We believe this is a truly unique and beautiful model of ministry that allows CE to continually grow to reach more people in Jesus name without sacrificing the personal feel of church or the protection and quality for the people in the church!
