Visiting | Abundant Life Wharton

This page has been created so you can let people know what to expect when they visit your church.

Here are 4 ideas to help you get started:

How long is the service? It’s nice to know how long a service typically runs so people can plan accordingly.
What about kids? Visitors with children like to know what to do when they first walk in—should they head to the kid’s classrooms or bring them into the main service? Also, they want to know what kind of care their child will be receiving.
What’s the service like? Let people know the style of music, whether the service is formal or informal, and other details so they know what to expect. Try to make these details reflect the mission and values of your church.
How do people normally dress? People feel more comfortable in a new place when they don’t feel like they stand out.

What to expect when you visit

It can be intimidating visiting somewhere for the first time. Because of this we want to give you an idea of what to expect and alleviate some of your fears. We look forward to meeting you. If you don't see an answer to your question here feel free to email us or call or text our Pastor 361-782-1626.

How long is the service? We start our Sunday morning service at 10:00AM and it typically lasts until 11:00 to 11:30.
What about kids? Kids are always welcome. We have children's church for ages 5 and up and a nursery for those under 5. Or you are welcome to keep them in the main service if you prefer.
What’s the service like? We start with music. Music is contemporary with a mix of old hymns at times. We believe the church is a place of freedom and you are free to worship how you feel led. That may be with hands raised, walking around, standing up, sitting down, head bowed, praying in tongues or in silence. The important thing is worshiping God. Music is followed by prayer then a gospel message rooted in the Holy Bible.
How do people normally dress? Once again we believe in the freedom of the church and you are welcome to dress how you feel appropriate. Most come casual, but you will be welcomed wearing a suit or shorts. We believe that it is not important how you look on the outside. but what God wants to do on the inside.
