Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. Is Embark part of a denomination?
Embark is not associated with a denomination. However, we are part of a church network known as the mPACT network. Our network consists of other like minded churches. These churches and their leaders routinely gather to pray, fellowship, train, resource and encourage one another.

2. What size church is Embark?
Embark currently averages 130 adults at Sunday services and 25-30 kids ages 10 and under. We have over 200 who claim Embark as their home church. We are looking for leaders who will help spiritually grow our existing people and help us numerically grow in the community.

3. What is our worship style?
Our service is approximately 65 minutes. It centers around singing to God and then preaching a life-applicable message from the Bible. Our lead pastor’s preaching style is more expository and teaching than topical. The music is “contemporary,” meaning we have a band consisting of guitars, drums and a keyboard. We believe worship should be fun, exciting and sacred all at the same time.
