When you first visit Tinkers Creek on Sunday mornings you should find a group of people willing and able to point you in the right direction. An information table is provided near the main entrance to help get you up to speed on the various ways you can connect. There are classes for all ages at the 9:00 hour, and this is really where you and your children will be able to connect with other members of Tinkers Creek. And our worship service begins at 10:30. Our worship style is eclectic. We're not faddish with the new or married to the past. We like hymns, but we worship with new music too. We're mostly acoustic, not very "band" driven. Simple. In worship, often less is more. We try to look at lyrics and meaning before style.
We preach through the Bible. On any given morning you might find us in Jeremiah 23 or Judges 7 or John 5. We don't do topics very often, preferring to let the book itself generate the topics. We don't apologize for the Bible or tack it onto the end. We try to listen to the word of God and let it nudge us, sometimes drag us, in the right direction. In the end, none of us can offer more than an opinion unless we're biblically informed. So we try to let the authority be the authority.
Is this the church for you? We don't know. You won't know until you visit. Maybe a few times to get the rhythm and tone. We'll resist the urge to "sell" you on us. If we're doing anything right, the experience will speak better than we can. We're not the right church for everyone. But we're trying, imperfectly, to be a healthy church. We'd be honored if you'd join us.
