Start here
Some people are ready to walk in on a Sunday. Some would rather listen on their own for a month first. Both are fine. Here are three ways in, and none of them asks you to be further along than you are.

Three ways in
There are three ways to start at Anchor Point. Not one of them is more official than the others. Take whichever is honestly easiest for you right now, and move when you are ready.
On your own
Not ready to walk into a room full of strangers, and not ready for a group either. Fair enough. The teaching is all online, so you can listen on the drive to work or at your kitchen table, on whatever timeline you want.
In a group
Community Groups are 8 to 12 people who meet weekly to talk through the Bible, pray, and get past small talk. It is a much smaller room than a Sunday, and for a lot of people that makes it the easier one to walk into.
Attend
Sundays at 10:30, either in the room or on the livestream. Worship, a teaching from the Bible, and a chance to respond. Sit wherever you want, including the back row.
No pressure
Most people hesitate because of what they are afraid will happen when they show up. So here is the plain version of what a first Sunday at Anchor Point is not.
01
No visitor badge, no standing up, no being asked to introduce yourself. You can sit toward the back, take it in, and leave without talking to anyone. That's a completely normal first Sunday.
02
There is a way to give here, and people use it because this became their church home somewhere along the way. On a first Sunday, none of that is pointed at you. Come, sit, listen. That's enough.
03
The service runs about 75 minutes, so you're out around 11:45. Stay afterward and talk to someone if you want to, or head straight to your car. Both are normal, and nobody will chase you down the hallway.
For families
Anchor Kids runs every Sunday, so your children have somewhere to be and you get to actually listen. And you will find other parents here in roughly the same week you are, whether you are brand new at this or watching a senior get ready to leave.
Nursery through 6th grade
Secure check-in, trained and background-checked leaders, and teaching built for their age. Drop them off on your way in and pick them up on your way out.
