What can I expect?

How long is an Authentic Church service?

In total, an Authentic Church service is about 90 minutes in length. Services begin with the Authentic Worship band leading the church in music - song lyrics are projected onto the screens so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. After the music portion of service is complete, Pastor Bobby Chandler will share an encouraging and hope-filled message about Jesus.

What's the culture like at Authentic Church?

Sunday's at Authentic are exciting, casual, and fun. Come as you are and expect to feel welcomed as our guest.

What about my kids?

We believe that kids should have a blast at church every single week - and at A-Kids, we make this a priority. The other thing we make a priority is your children’s safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for our A-Kids program the first time that you visit. You’ll want to leave yourself an extra ten minutes to get signed in for the A-Kids experience. A-Kids is offered at every Authentic Church service for kids ages infant through Grade 5.
