Feel At Home
Many people are afraid to attend a new church because they aren’t sure what to expect when they first visit. We want you to feel at home when you visit us for the first time. Here’s what you’ll find when you come to Regency:
Our church has two parking lots available based on your needs, and both lots are accessed from Third Street.
1. Parking for those who need physical assistance is available between the two main wings of our building. Please use the double doors to enter the building.
2. The main church parking lot is located on the east side of the building and has a covered portico entry where your family can get out of the car during bad weather. Feel free to park in any available space in this lot and enter the building under the portico.
When you arrive at Regency, you’ll be greeted warmly by one or more members of our church family who will gladly guide you to the right worship locations for you and your family. If you have children under 3 years old, we will direct you to our nursery, where caring staff will lovingly watch over your children during the service.
Before the service, one our greeters will give you a brochure with information about our church and a pen. Inside the brochure will be a guest card, and we would appreciate you taking a moment to fill out the card and either place it in one of the offering boxes at the back of the auditorium or give it to the pastor when you leave the service. Please keep both the brochure and the pen as our gift to remind you of your visit with us.
All of Regency’s worship services are “traditional”. We believe that the songs we sing during the worship service and the other music that is played or sung should be done in a way that gives the hearer a proper reflection of the God that we worship. Sadly, much of the lyrics and music used in many churches today is based on current trends in pop culture or “what makes me feel good” rather than what the Bible says about how we are to worship Him. We believe our music is to be scripturally accurate, edifying, and honoring to the Lord. Our church enjoys our congregational singing time in which we sing the well-beloved hymns and choruses from our hymnbooks.
We use the King James Version of the Bible for all preaching and teaching at each service. If you do not have a KJV Bible, we have extra copies available that you can use to follow along during the service. Please see the pastor or one of the greeters to get a copy, and feel free to take that copy of the Bible home with you if you wish.
At the end of the Sunday Morning sermon, the pastor will pray and the congregation will sing a closing hymn. This is an opportunity for those who would like to trust Christ as their Savior or for Christians who have other spiritual decisions to make (for example, rededication to Christ, a need to be baptized, or joining the church membership) to come forward and publicly make those decisions. If you would like spiritual counseling, please come forward at that time and let the pastor know.
