What Can I Expect on a Visit to FCCGE?

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Whatever you want! We have people in everything from dresses to jeans. We don’t care what you wear, what’s important is that you’re here.

WE BELIEVE THAT LGBTQIA+ IDENTITIES SHOULD BE AFFIRMED

God’s creation is a magnificent display of diversity, and love takes many forms. As an open and affirming congregation, we believe that all of them are sacred.

IT CAN BE SCARY GOING TO A NEW CHURCH. WILL I HAVE TO STAND UP IN THE SERVICE OR WEAR A NAME TAG?

We do not ask you to stand and we have visitor tags ONLY if you want one–self serve.

WILL I BE APPROACHED BY ANYONE?

Our friendly ushers will give you a bulletin (program) at the back of the sanctuary and you can sit wherever you want.

DO I HAVE TO GIVE YOU ANYONE CONTACT INFO?

There are cards in the pews pockets if you wish to be contacted. It’s completely up to you – no one will ask or pressure you.

DO I HAVE TO GIVE MONEY?

Nope. Just pass the plate to the next person. You won’t look weird passing it without putting anything in.

DO I HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE AT COFFEE HOUR?

We would LOVE to meet you, but ease in at your own pace! We understand that some people are more shy than others.

WHAT IF I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE CHURCH OR AM SKEPTICAL?

You are welcome here regardless of your past experience or attitudes.

How Can I Learn More??
