What to Expect

We can't wait to meet you!

Visiting a new church can make some people nervous because they just have no idea what it’s going to be like. We know that you may have several questions about what to expect when visiting Henderson, so we’ve tried to answer some of those potential questions below. Of course, if you have a question that we haven’t answered here, you can fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page, and we’ll get back with you promptly.

FAQs

What kind of church are you?

We are a Southern Baptist church. If you’d like to read more about our ministry affiliations and partnerships, you can find them by clicking here.

What should I wear?

Man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart. – 1 Samuel 16:7

At Henderson, we try to be more concerned with the heart than with the outward appearance. Some men wear a coat and tie and some ladies wear dresses, while others wear blue jeans. Some people wear dress shoes, and others wear boots or tennis shoes. In short, feel free to dress however you feel comfortable!

What should I expect before, during, and after a service?

When you arrive at Henderson, you should expect to be greeted warmly. Once the service starts, we sing worshipful music and hear a relevant, Bible-saturated message. Our worship service lasts around an hour.

When the service is over, our folks are so friendly that they’ve been known to stick around and talk for a while. That’s a great time to get to know people!

What is available for my children?

We know that your children are your priority, and we want you to know that they are our priority as well! We value the importance of giving children opportunities to learn in age-appropriate ways AND to interact with older people.

During Sunday School, a class for kids ages 4-10 dive into learning and memorizing Bible verses. Those older than 10 have the chance to join the adult Sunday school class and learn alongside them.

During Sunday morning worship service, we have Children’s Church available for kids ages 4-10. They join us in the sanctuary to participate in singing and then are dismissed to the children’s area where volunteers lead them in an age-appropriate time of Bible-learning and other engaging activities.

Nursery is available upon request for infants and children up to age 3 during our Sunday morning service. When you arrive, our Children’s Church volunteers will gladly take the time to talk with you about our childcare options and help you find the best fit for your family!

Any time your child is in a nursery or classroom with one of our volunteers, you can rest assured that those volunteers have been screened and trained on appropriate interactions with children. We do everything in our power to provide a safe and fun environment where kids can learn more about Jesus.

On Sunday and Wednesday nights, the kids join in with everyone during the evening service and Bible study. We include them in the time of prayer and encourage them to participate by stating prayer requests and learning from students and adults the value of corporate prayer.

Will I be expected to give?

Guests are welcome to give to help support the mission of our church, but you are by no means required or expected to give.
