PLAN A VISIT.
We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating, and going to a new church for the first time can be scary. We want to help make your first trip to Gethsemane a great one!
WHERE DO WE WORSHIP?
Gethsemane Church worship at 1100 Newton Road in the heart of North Raleigh. It's located near Ravenscroft.
WHEN DO WE WORSHIP?
Gethsemane Church holds two different styles of worship each Sunday with a Sunday school for ages 3-18 in between.
Traditional Worship is at 9am
Garden Kids is at 10am
Contemporary Worship is 11am
WHY TWO DIFFERENT STYLES?
Raleigh is filled with people of all types: all types of backgrounds, all types of cultures, and all types of musical preferences. The cool thing about God's people is that it is comprises of people of all these different types who have one thing in common: Their Savior, Jesus. We aim to celebrate diversity of style, while maintaining unity in the message of Jesus' love.
WHAT IS EACH STYLE LIKE?
Our 9am Traditional Worship honors many thought provoking hymns from past in a style commonly guided by the organ.
Our 11am Contemporary Worship uses the diverse music of today to celebrate the victory we have in Christ as guided by our worship band.

HOW LONG IS THE SERVICE?
Each service is about 60 minutes in length. Half is singing, prayers and Bible readings, while the other half is pastor's main message.
WILL I GET LOST IN THE SERVICE?
Hopefully not. As you enter the church, a member of our hospitality team will hand you the order for worship that day. This will have all that you need to follow the service. Readings, songs, sermon notes, everything! No, you don't need to worry about looking things up in a book or memorizing a prayer. It's all there for you in that one bulletin. Of course, if you lose your place, no worries! Look up at the projector screens which display where we are at in the service.

WHAT WILL I DO WITH THE KIDS?
Whatever you do, don't leave them at home! We love kids. They are a part of our worship family and we encourage you to bring them. During the first half of the service, we encourage all families to let the children stay in the pews! It helps them learn about church and is an excellent family time. (We do have coloring pages focusing on the day's lesson and age appropriate Bible books in back, if you'd like to help them stay focused.)
Then, the kids are invited forward for a children's lesson with pastor. Afterwards, they can stay for the rest of the service or they can head to the Kids Area with our trained volunteers, where they will hear a Bible story, sing Bible songs, and learn more about Jesus. There is also a Infant Room available for parents with a really young ones. Don't worry, you can still hear the service on the LIVE braodcast from there.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Whatever you'd like. We make no demands of you (and we don't have a partnership with a tuxedo shop). We're glad your with us and won't turn anyone away or give any dirty looks.
