Q | How long are the worship services? | A | Typically, our worship service lasts 90 minutes. | | | Q | What should I expect during the typical service? | A | Expect a miracle! During every worship service we believe for the Spirit of God to appear and touch the lives of God’s people. We do have a format that includes singing and preaching, receiving an offering (money given by members) and giving people the opportunity to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. At times we pray together as a congregation or have people come forward to receive prayer. | | | Q | Do you raise your hands during service? | A | You will often see Christians lifting up hands in church while singing or praising God. In Psalms 63:4 David says, "I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name." Other scriptural references to this in the Bible are: Lamentations 2:19, Psalm 134:2 | | | Q | Do you pray for the sick? | A | Jesus and His disciples used oil to pray for the sick. In James 5:14 it says, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and have them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord." Other scriptural accounts of this in the Bible are: Mark 16:18, Mark 6:13 and James 5:14 | | | Q | Do you speak in tongues? | A | Speaking in tongues began when the Holy Spirit filled the waiting disciples in Acts 2:4. "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance." Today, Christians speak in tongues when they are "baptized" in the Holy Spirit. Some call it a prayer language. Other scriptural references of this in the Bible are: Acts 10:46, 1 Timothy 2:8, 1 Corinthians 14:2, 4-5, 13-14, 18, 22 and 39. | | | Q | What denomination are you a part of? | A | FWC is a non-denominational church committed to encouraging people with the love of God and equipping people with the Word of God for the purpose of influencing others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. | | | Q | What should I wear to church? | A | You will see all manner of dress at any given service - from jeans to suits, shorts to dresses. Come as you are! |
