Our Next Steps FAQs provide helpful answers about salvation, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, joining the church, discipleship, serving, and witnessing. Explore these common questions to better understand your next step and discover how you can continue growing in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
Think of it as our spiritual salutation and holy ghost filled high-five all rolled into one! At the Progressive Church, we like to put the spotlight on God’s goodness before we do anything!! So saying "Praise the Lord" is our favorite way to remind each other that no matter what kind of week we're having, God is still on the throne and we are blessed to be a church family. So if you hear it five times before you even find a seat, don't worry—it’s just our hearts overflowing (with a healthy dose of holy enthusiasm)!
You are welcome to visit. You do not need to know every song, Scripture, or church tradition before coming. Our desire is for you to hear the Word of God, experience worship, and learn more about Jesus Christ.
You are welcome to come. Many people return to God at different seasons of life, and we believe there is still grace, hope, and restoration through Jesus Christ.
No. You can come, listen, ask questions, and learn. We believe spiritual growth is a journey, and we are committed to teaching the Word of God clearly and faithfully.
We encourage modest, respectful attire that reflects reverence for worship. Our church culture is “Sunday’s best,” our men wear (modest suit and tie, dress shirts) and our women wear (modest dress, skirts, church hats). However, we do not want clothing to keep anyone from coming to hear the Word of God. Come with a sincere heart and a desire to seek the Lord. If attire is a concern, our local church family will do our best to help with care and discretion.
Service styles may vary by location, but our churches are centered around prayer, worship, preaching, teaching, and fellowship. If you have questions, someone at the local assembly will be glad to help.

Please contact headquarters or use the website form to submit updated information. We want each church listing to remain accurate and helpful.
Each local assembly manages its own media and livestream availability. Some churches livestream or post sermons online, while others may not currently offer that option.
