What to Expect

Home / What to Expect

We invite you to join us in our time of worship and fellowship this Sunday, where you will be greeted with a friendly face, a warm smile, and a welcoming handshake.

Thank you for visiting our website. We know seeking out a new church for yourself and your family can be a challenging and even frustrating process. When you find a place you fit, you feel like you are coming home and you finally belong. Lebanon Valley Bible Church is a group of imperfect people who long to know Jesus Christ at a continually deeper level. We are all in a process of growth and development in our pursuit of Christ. Our quest is to dig into God’s Word: to study it, to learn it, and to live it in our daily lives. We are striving to be authentic in our faith and genuine in our love. We exist as a church to bring glory to God through our lives as we come to know Jesus Christ more deeply and intimately every day, and as we do our part to help make Him known in our community and throughout the world. We would like to invite you to spend time exploring the information on our website. This will give you an idea of who we are, what we value, and what we do. We would also encourage you to stop in and visit with us, worship with us, get to know us, and we will do our best to welcome you and make you feel at home.

We look forward to meeting you.

A Typical Sunday Morning Service

Our Sunday morning service of worship begins at 9:00am and lasts approximately an hour and fifteen minutes. Although our order of service may vary from week to week, we generally open with a brief time of welcome and announcements from one of our pastoral staff, followed by 25-30 minutes of worship through song, prayer, and giving, as we prepare our hearts for the preaching of the Word, which is our primary focus.

Sunday School

Our Sunday school hour begins at 10:30am. Classes are available for all ages. Greeters at our Welcome Center (located just inside the main entrance of the church)  will be happy to assist you with additional information.                          

Sunday Evening Special Events

Once a month we gather for a special service or activity.  Please Contact the church office, or view our Calendar for a schedule of upcoming events.

Music and Worship

In accordance with Colossians 3:16, the worship committee strives to plan music for the worship services that utilizes modern praise and worship music and traditional hymns. Our music program incorporates a variety of instrumentation and also recorded music. Scripture confirms the significant role of music in the personal and corporate expression of worship. Corporate worship in our services represents the cumulative expression of wholehearted devotion to God that naturally results from each individual’s lifestyle of worship. For further information on our beliefs pertaining to corporate worship and the use of music in the church, please visit our Worship Page.

Childcare

Childcare is provided in two well-staffed Nurseries providing care for newborns through age two on Sunday mornings. Beginning at age two there are age-appropriate Bible classes provided. Please stop by our Welcome Center just inside the main entrance of the church, or call the church office at (717) 867-4403 for more information.

Student Ministries

LVBC offers comprehensive youth programs for all ages including The FoundationAwana, and Jr. Church.

Parking

Designated parking for guests with disabilities is located near the west entrance to the church. An elevator is also located just inside the west entrance for your convenience.

Dress Code

Those who join us in worship dress both casually as well as more formally. There is no established code of dress, although modesty in attire is expected, so as not to distract from our primary purpose of worshiping our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
