What to Expect
Visiting a new church for the first time can be a bit overwhelming so we want to provide
some information on what to expect when you arrive.
Sunday Worship
Worship is at the core of who we are at CEM
Encounter
The whole purpose of our Sunday worship is to provide an opportunity for people to
encounter God in a real and intimate way. We have intentionally and prayerfully
formatted our worship to create this kind of environment.
Our Sunday service is contemporary and uplifting. You will experience powerful live worship and
an inspiring message filled with truth and hope. The service lasts for one hour and is open
to people of all ages. The attire at CEM ranges from jeans to suits, so you are
welcome to dress as you please.
Life groups
Life is meant to be lived in community
Intentional Relationships
Sharing a meal with those who know and love you.
Real conversations marked by laughter, honesty, and encouragement.
Burdens shared, triumphs celebrated, prayers given and received.
Relationship as it was meant to be. This is Life Group.

Bible Study
We are committed to growing in our relationship with God
Lifelong Pursuit
At CEM, we believe that knowing God is a constant pursuit, a lifelong journey of discovery.
To that end we commit to the study of God’s Word both as a gathered community and
as a lifelong daily discipline. For more information on Bible Study gatherings please
