Your First
Visit:
What can you
expect to see and experience when you visit “The Neighborhood” for the first
time?
Upon your
arrival you will find a friendly smiling face to greet you and help you with
parking and to direct you the main sanctuary building.
Atmosphere:
As you enter
you will be greeted by what we believe to be the friendliest and most loving
people on the island of Okinawa. You will experience cutting edge worship music,
relevant messages that you can apply to your life the very day you visit as well
as finding a comfortable atmosphere. You will never be embarrassed and asked to
stand during your visit. You will be given as our gift to you a shell lei to
wear that will identify you as a first time guest. That’s it!
A Typical
Service:
Our order of
service is simple and easy to follow: A vibrant praise song to prepare us to
worship followed by a brief time of fellowship and greeting each other. Then a
few brief announcements on the screen with a few spoken from the pulpit followed
by a time to worship the Lord with our tithes and offerings, (as a guest you are
never expected to give in support of the ministries at Neighborhood until you
choose to be part of our fellowship on a regular basis) a few more songs of
worship to prepare for the message, a special time of prayer and a message from
our pastor or special guest. The messages from our pastor are about 40 minutes
in length. We end with a challenge, prayer and a closing song of praise.
How to
Dress:
Casual and
comfortable is the norm. You will fit right in. God is more concerned about our
hearts then how we dress. “The Lord does not look at the
things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at
the heart.”
I Samuel 16:7
Membership:
Every few
weeks we offer CLASS 101 that describes who we are, what we are about, and how
we “do church.” You will find few rules but a lot of faith and trust. We operate
on a Team Ministry Concept and believe that everyone in the body should be
involved in some type of ministry for the Lord. To know our doctrinal position
please refer to the “What We Believe” section on our website.
Our mission statement says it all: We are “SHARING OUR LORD, OUR LOVE, OUR
LIVES.”
