Sermon
Demographics
Overall: For those looking for a traditional service with hymns, this service is for you! The organist provided a great sound for the hymns and the people were very kind and welcoming!
- ages: majority 60+
Atmosphere in church (the shared feelings from the building):
The service was more traditional with hymns intertwined with an introduction, meet & greet, Old Testament and New Testament readings, and additional readings based on theme of the day. It was pleasant, informational, and educational. The peaceful and relaxing service felt scripted at times as various people read the monologue printed in the bulletin. The program was well-planned as the service followed the aligned theme of the national holiday. Additional readings included historical anecdotes of the United States of America as well as the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
Loved place
Amazing grace
Worship Music: The worship music consisted primarily of hymns led by an organ for instrumentation, which provided a great sound that added to a strong traditional service. The songs were dispersed throughout the service giving each section of the service a chance for the audience to participate and respond through song.
- family oriented: very few children if any
full disclosure: I've worked in the audio/video team here
Great service with a killer choir. The pastoral staff is very progressive, welcoming, and sincere.

The atmosphere inside the sanctuary felt peaceful and relaxing. The pews and organ in front of the sanctuary made it feel like a traditional church.
- crowd engagement: Many if not most of the congregation participated in singing as the songs chosen were a great choice for congregation.
Environment (What it looked like): The sanctuary had a patriarchal, town hall feel with dim lighting, colorful stain glass windows, and comfortable padded pews that were 35-45% filled with congregation. The balcony extended to the sides of the sanctuary.
- dress / attire: business dress / business-casual
- instrumentation type: organ
- duration: 9 songs throughout service
- attendance: 95-120
- quality: large organ in front of church provided grandiose sound
Welcomeness: Unfortunately, I arrived at 11am, which was 10 minutes later than the service started and at that time, there were no apparent greeters, however, there could have been greeters had I been on time. During service, however, there was a meet & greet and many people were extremely welcoming!
Service:
The message, which was highly informational and educational revolving around US and SDA history, was not in the form of a sermon but rather specific readings that were embedded throughout the service.
Time of Service: 10:50am - 12:10pm
