What To Expect
Walking through the doors of a place of worship for the first time on a Sunday morning can feel risky and a bit nerve-wracking. We get that. It can be especially so if organized religion has not been a part of your past experience or cultural background. At Missio Dei Church, we work hard to keep things approachable and friendly, but also reverent and worshipful. In terms of dress and attire, everything is very casual. In terms of the worship experience, our weekly gatherings include prayers, readings, corporate singing, a sermon, and we take communion together every week.
Something that does set MDC apart from many otherwise similar churches is our emphasis on participation and dialogue. Nearly every Sunday, we open up for a time of response and discussion after the sermon is delivered, before celebrating communion. We invite sincere questions and reactions at this stage of the gathering. Similarly, occasionally the corporate singing/response time is composed of freely shared stories, or spontaneously chosen songs and choruses. This is intentionally done, because we believe this kind of participation is an important part of how we grow and engage the spiritual journey together.
