We are
glad you chose to make us a part of
your week! If this is your first
visit, then just sit back, relax,
and be our guest. The following
information will help make your time
more comfortable at Sagemont Church:
Communication Card – As a
guest, we ask that you complete the
communication card in the pew rack
and place it in one of the offering
receptacles as you exit. This will
allow you to request any further
information about our church or
communicate with our staff. Be
assured that no one will drop by
your home without an appointment or
without being invited.
AdventureLand for Your Children
– We have caring workers prepared to
serve you in our kid-friendly,
AdventureLand facilities. This
includes a nursery area for your
preschoolers. If you choose to bring
your baby or small child to the
worship service, please be
considerate of others around you. If
your child becomes restless, we ask
that you take him/her immediately to
the AdventureLand area.
Concerning
the Offering – We do not
pass offering plates at Sagemont
Church. Our primary purpose is to
give and not to receive. If,
however, you are a believer and you
know the blessings that come from
giving as taught in Luke 6:38, you
can place your offering in the
receptacles located at the exits of
the Worship Center and Gym, as well
as in the foyers.
Your First Step at Sagemont
Church – DISCOVER
For our guests and new members to
discover everything about Sagemont
Church, the
Discovery Class is just for you!
It is a four-week class designed to
help you understand the beliefs,
opportunities, programs, strategy
and structure of Sagemont Church.
Each of the four sessions is
independent, so you may begin on any
given Sunday. The Discovery Class
meets at 11:00 a.m. every Sunday
morning in Room 133 (adjacent to the
Bookstore).
Your Next Step at Sagemont Church
– CONNECT
If you have found the worship
experience to be meaningful here at
Sagemont and have attended the
Discovery Class, then your journey
has just begun. We invite you to
take the next step by getting
connected in
Sunday morning Bible Study (iCONNECT). Our
Sunday morning iCONNECT programs
allow you to find the “small church”
within the “big church” and to
develop meaningful relationships as
you study God’s word.
Mission
and Strategy
... of Sagemont Church is to be
people who provide living proof of a
loving God to a watching world. To
guide you in this mission we use a
strategy represented by “The Heart
of Living Proof.” The left side of
the heart is about receiving as
Sagemont provides opportunities for
you to worship, connect, and learn.
The right side of the heart is about
sharing as Sagemont provides
opportunities to pray, serve, and
give.
