What can I expect on my first visit?
You can't miss our growing campus at the intersection of Courthouse Road and Qualla Road. Our entrance driveway is on Courthouse Road before the red light at the intersection. The entryway to our sanctuary is located inbetween our campus buildings and is marked by an entryway sign. Directly inside our front doors one of our hospitality greeters will meet you and direct you to the right classes and services. They can also answer other questions you may have.
These small group settings are where you are invited to meet people and hear a teaching lesson more directly applicable to your life-stage. The best way to get to know people at Good News Church is to visit one of these adult Bible classes.
During our worship service you will enjoy the beautiful and inspiring music of the congregation, choir, ensembles, small groups, and soloists. The music is always followed by a clear, helpful, and challenging Bible message from Pastor Johnson. This service is a little over one hour in length.

Where do I take my children?
Starting with excellent nurseries, there is something special for every age child. At every service there are safe, clean, and well-staffed nurseries for children two years old and under. For children three years old through sixth grade there are fun, friendly, and Bible-centered classes. These classes are staffed with trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child.
We would like to help you find the appropriate nurseries, classes, and services for every person in your family. Our greeters and ushers are located in the lobby of the main worship center and will gladly help direct and even escort you to the right place.

What about my teens?
Most teens attend the 9:30am Teen Sunday School Class which teaches Bible truths in a manner that applies directly to current life. Our teenagers then attend the 11:00am worship service with their parents.
How should I dress?
There is not a certain dress code at Good News Church for members or guests. Overall, the style of attire is not so important as much as the modesty of the attire. Pastor will wear a suit the majority of the time, but the men in the congregation are commonly seen in button-down shirts or polos. Ladies should feel comfortable wearing a dress or a blouse with a skirt. Modesty is the standard by which we ask you to come to worship.
Am I expected to participate in the offering?
No. We don't invite you to Good News Church for your offering. We want our service to be a gift to you. We hope you will find in this place a warm family spirit, truth from God's Word, and a place where you can grow in God's grace. Please don't feel any obligation to participate in the offering as a guest.
Other questions?
If there's something we missed on this list, just give us a call, or ask someone when you arrive. Whether you're new to the area and looking for a church home, or if it's been a long time since you've attended church at all, we hope your first visit at Good News will be awesome! We exist to serve you and your family, and we are looking forward to meeting you personally. We hope you'll feel right at home from the very first moment you step onto campus! Let us know how we can serve you better, and we hope to meet you this Sunday!
