What to Expect

at a Palmdale Church Worship Gathering

Location and Atmosphere
Palmdale Church meets outside at local parks.

Members of Palmdale Church bring their own chairs and set up where they are comfortable. We have some chairs to borrow, or you can bring your own, whichever you prefer.

Families worship together for the entirety of our worship gathering. We love children at Palmdale Church and fully integrate them into our church. 

We offer worship slides on our media page. These are important for following along the order of the service.
Liturgy

Liturgy means public service. In the church, it refers to the arrangement of the worship service as directed by the church elders and worship leaders.

We invite guests to participate through singing and response as you feel comfortable. You are also welcome to observe, but we encourage you to at least follow along with the slides.
Call to Worship

The Call to Worship is a Question and Response. The Leader will read the portion of the slide that says LEADER and the congregation will read the part that says PEOPLE.

If you are a guest with us, please join us as you feel comfortable.
