What to Expect at Scottsdale Worship Center

Visiting a new church for the first time can feel a bit daunting, but the team at Scottsdale Worship Center (SWC) is committed to making you feel welcome and at home. Here's what you can expect as a first-time visitor:

Dress Code At SWC, you'll find people dressed in a wide variety of styles, from casual jeans and t-shirts to more formal attire. The most important thing is that you come as you are - the community is warm and accepting, and you won't be judged on your appearance.

Service Format SWC's Sunday services start promptly at 10:00 a.m. The service typically lasts around 1.5 hours and includes a time of contemporary worship music, an inspirational message from the pastor, and opportunities for prayer and ministry.

The worship style is charismatic and spirit-filled, with an emphasis on the presence of the Holy Spirit. You can expect to see people raising their hands, clapping, or even experiencing physical manifestations of the Spirit's work. Don't worry if this is new to you - the team is happy to explain and help you feel comfortable.

Tips for Visitors - Arrive a few minutes early to allow time for parking and checking in your kids (if applicable). - Feel free to sit wherever you'd like - the ushers will be happy to assist you in finding a seat. - Participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable. You're welcome to sing, pray, or just observe. - After the service, stop by the Welcome Center to say hi and pick up a gift just for visiting. - Most importantly, come with an open heart and expect to encounter God in a meaningful way.

The community at SWC is warm, friendly, and genuinely excited to welcome new faces. We look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your spiritual journey. See you soon!
