The Lord has shown His reality, and we would like to take this opportunity to share some of these revelations with you. Below we have covered important areas of our services, things you may not be familiar with, and a brief explanation to get you comfortable. We encourage you to ask questions on your visit and get to know our Friendship Team before or after the service. We believe that you will receive everything God has in store for you today as we experience the life-changing power of God together.
What We Believe
- Trinity of Spirit
- Jesus died to cleanse our sins
- There is salvation through Christ
- The bible is the inspired Word of God
- The indwelling of God by the Holy Spirit
- Prayer as a foundational cornerstone
What to Expect
The first thing you’ll notice is that the love of Christ pours forth from our church family. A friendship team member will promptly greet you, answer any questions you may have, and help you find a comfortable place to sit during the service.
Our praise and worship team starts the service by ushering in the Holy Spirit with anointed praise. We may sing the latest contemporary worship song or your favorite hymn. There’s something for everybody’s style.
Each week Pastor Weiss brings a timely message to the church family, dealing with issues from marriage and family to jobs and success. He breaks down the scriptures so everybody can understand how we can apply what God said to everyday life.
After service you’re welcome to join us in our cafe for a free latte, mingle with the church family, and get a feel for what we’re like. If you’re not comfortable with this, the friendship team member you met when you arrived will be right there to introduce you.
During the Service
A service at Faith World Outreach Church may very well change your life forever. Our church family comes expecting to have an encounter with God. During our services you will see some of the following things happen. We operate much like the church in the book of Acts and allow the Holy Spirit to move freely among us.
Slain in the Spirit
Often times during the course of a service, individuals fall under the overwhelming power of the presence of the Holy Spirit. This Spirit uses this occasion to minister intimately with that individual.
Verses to read: II Chronicles 5:14, Acts 9:4, Matthew 28:4, Revelation 1:17, John 18:6, Acts 22:7
Lifting Up Holy Hands
The scriptures instruct us to lift up holy hands in praise, worship, and prayer. The symbolism of this gesture shows an honor and a reverence to the Lord, as well as a willingness to receive with open arms whatever the Holy Spirit may have in store.
Verses to read: Psalms 63:4, Lamentations 2:19, Psalms 134:2, I Timothy 2:8
Laying on Hands & Anointing Oil
Often times the gesture of laying on of hands is needed as this actually enables a transfer of the anointing, as does the application of oil. This has been used throughout the scriptures.
Verses to read: Mark 16:18, James 5:14, Acts 28:8, Acts 9:17, Mark 6:13
Speaking in Tongues
The scriptures entreat us to not forbid speaking in tongues, as this is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit working in and through someone. Tongues is a heavenly language given by God for the building up of the believer in the area of faith as well as a sign to the non-believer.
Verses to read: Acts 2:4, Acts 10:46, Acts 19:6, I Corinthians 12:10
Children’s Ministry
During the service, we offer classes for newborn through 8 years. Next Generation is our nursery. Discovery Zone is our in-service program for children 4 through 8, with object lessons, crafts, and storytelling.
Bookstore & Resources
The bookstore is open following each service. You can purchase Bibles, biblical topic books, study materials, breath mints, and handmade jewelry. We offer a discount for our church family, in comparison to retail prices. Audio from select authors is also available.
If you would like to purchase today’s service, the bookstore is where you can do that. If you’re visiting, we can mail it to you, or you may pick it up at the following Sunday morning service.
Coffee House
Join us after our Sunday morning services, or before our Sunday evening services, in our cafe, Heavenly Grounds. We’re serving espresso, lattes, and mochas made to order. Any drink is free on your first visit.
Our Facility
On your first visit, we want you to feel comfortable, welcome, and familiar with where things are. Our friendship team will be happy to show you around.
