What To Expect
We know what it's like to try anything for the first time  - the curiosity, the anxiety, the
questions... So, since we were once first time guests too, we have come up with some
questions you might have before visiting us.
1. What kind of church is this?
We are a non-denominational Christian church.  People with different backgrounds (Catholics, Protestants,
the spiritually curious but skeptical, atheists, etc.) are invited to know Jesus at our church. North Shore is a
place where both Christians and those who consider themselves spiritual inquirers can learn and grow in their
walk with God. It's a place for people who are wondering if God could be the answer to some of life's tough
questions. It's also a place where people who have decided to follow Jesus can continue to grow in their walk
with God. It's a place to hear about God's amazing gift of love for you and why it's so important that we
share that love with the people around us.  You can learn even more about who we are and where we came
from by attending a
Launch Point class!

2. What should I wear?
Something comfortable!  We are pretty informal, though some fancy themselves fashionably savvy!  

3. How long will the service last?
55-65 minutes.

4. What will the service be like?
Laid back and practical.  Grab a cup of coffee or tea and a doughnut or bagel. During worship services we
participate in singing pretty cool music together, hear a practical message aimed at real life issues and take
communion together each week.  Communion is just a time during our service when people who believe in
Jesus take bread and juice and remember the reason Jesus loves us all so much.  It can also be a time for
people who still aren't sure about Jesus to enjoy a few moments of peace and thank God for his love.

5. Will I have to say anything, sign anything, give anything, or be singled out in any way?
Rest assured that you won't be put on the spot, singled-out or embarrassed. Though we do receive an
offering, it is not mandatory!  We believe giving is an act of worship and God uses the money we collect each
week to do some pretty amazing stuff.

people on the Care & Communication Card in your bulletin, but if you'd prefer not to, that's alright with us. For
security reasons, we require some basic information if you decide to put your children in one of our classes.

6. What about my kids - do they come in with me, or is there something going on for them?
Our Kids Klub program provides loving care and education during both services in classes from birth up to 5th
grade and it ROCKS!

7. Is this a Christian church, or something else?
Non-traditional in style, we are a non-denominational Christian Church that is committed to the eternal truths
of the Bible. Our vision is simple - to create a healthy, contagious community of Christ followers. Our mission is
equally clear - loving people the way Christ loves us and showing them how to love Him and each other!

8. Where and when are the church's services?
We are located at 120 Kroemer Avenue in Riverhead, behind the Kiddie Academy building.
We have two services each Sunday at 9:35am and 11:05am.
