What to Expect

Here’s a rundown of what Sundays look like.

Come as you are. You'll see jeans, sweats, and shorts often, and whatever is comfortable; we think that's a win. 


​Wear What’s Comfortable

We recommend showing up around 15 minutes before the service starts so you can find parking, grab a free coffee and donuts, and get settled in. 

When you get here

Check-in opens 15 minutes before service. Pre-register online to save time, or find the kids' kiosk in the lobby before service. They’ll walk you through everything you need to know!

Check In Your Kids

Worship services are about 60 minutes with live worship music and live, clear, biblical teaching with practical application. Our heart is to help you connect with Jesus and understand God's Word – so you can walk out the doors equipped for the week ahead.

Say Hello Afterwards

A Note from Pastor Ryan

Walking into a new church takes courage. I get it.

Maybe you're looking for a place to belong. Maybe you're searching for answers. Maybe someone invited you and you're just checking it out. Whatever brought you here, I'm really glad you're considering Anchor.

My hope is that when you walk through our doors, you'll find a community that feels like home; a place where you're known and where faith isn't just a Sunday thing.

I'll be teaching most weekends, but I'm also around during the week; grabbing coffee, answering texts, and showing up when life gets hard. That's what pastors do. That's what community does.

If you have questions, want to grab coffee, or just want to talk, reach out. I'd love to connect.

— Pastor Ryan Widdel

Questions? We Have Answers.

  • What denomination are you?

    Anchor Community Church is a non-denominational Christian church focused on helping people know and follow Jesus. We are rooted in biblical teaching, committed to the authority of Scripture, and passionate about helping people grow in faith and community. We networked with Converge, a group of churches that shares these same desire to multiply churches HERE. NERE. AND FAR.

  • Is communion offered?

    Yes. We celebrate communion every week to remember Jesus’ sacrifice and keep the Gospel at the center of our gatherings. If you’ve placed your faith in Jesus, you’re welcome to participate. If you’re still exploring faith, you’re welcome to simply observe with no pressure at all.

  • What if I'm still exploring faith?

    You're welcome here. We're not expecting you to have it all figured out. Come, listen, ask questions, and take your time. There's no pressure.

  • Will there be an offering?

    We don’t pass a plate during the service, But yes - there are ways to give voluntarily for those who call Anchor home. People often give online or drop gifts in secure giving boxes throughout the building. If you’re visiting, please don’t feel any pressure to give.

  • What if I need to leave early or arrive late?

    That's completely fine. Life happens. Come when you can, and don't worry about it.


  • I have more questions. Who do I ask?

    Stop by the Connections Desk on Sunday, reach out online, or connect with our team. We're here to help!


    Contact Us
  • WHAT IS THE SERVICE LIKE?

    Our Sunday service is about 60 minutes and designed to be simple, meaningful, and welcoming. We spend time singing and worshiping together, usually around three songs, followed by a host who shares what’s happening at Anchor that day.


    Then we open the Bible for a practical, engaging 30-minute message that helps connect God’s truth to everyday life.
