I'm New

Shelby Center Church is a place where people can engage in life-giving community built upon trust, love, and the pursuit of genuinely knowing and following Jesus.

We believe in creating a space where people who attend regularly or say I'm new can have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts and use them for God's glory.

We value healthy relationships and caring well for each other by living in unity, fervent charity, and growing in maturity. This makes the gospel visible, accessible., and enjoyable.

 With the goal of church simplified, Jesus magnified, and people edified we intentionally avoid the "institutional" or "denominational" feel in favor of church that is more like family
and values unhurried time together in worship and God's word.

Producing genuine followers of Jesus is why we exist.

We look forward to meeting you and hope that Shelby Center Church will
be a place you can truly call home. Thank you!

Dress is casual. A few dress up! You'll receive a warm welcome and gift for visiting
without being pressured or singled out.

A typical service will last about 75- 90 minutes. We start by sharing thanks, laughter, testimonies, and prayer requests, then have a season of prayer corporately.

We sing a mix of older and newer songs with some occasional special music.

Our entire congregation, young to elderly, remain together during this time of worship.

Children are then dismissed to the children's ministry while the rest remain for the sermon. The message style is typically expository (verse by verse) and lasts about 45 minutes.

Plan to linger after the service for fellowship and meeting new people. We enjoy a
bring-a-dish style meal together immediately following the service for those who wish to stay.
