Souljourn

Anchorage

worship - a blend (usually in a contemporary style), chosen to complement the message

message - like a conversation about the Bible on sundays; cell churches are a Bible study

childcare - kids participate in the music part of the service, then leave for a sunday school type thing (again that's sundays...the cell churches vary depending on the group)

favorite thing - small, close-knit community

what i'd change - flavored cream cheese for the bagels?

jeans - you'd probably feel a bit out of place if you dressed up too much.

Hillcrest Church of the Nazarene

Anchorage

Worship music tends to lean towards contemporary, but is usually in a traditional style.

Speaking - new pastor since the last time i was there. (moved to colorado, not leave church. just to be clear)

childcare - full childcare from nursery through 4th grade for sundays(unless it's changed, seeing as it's a transitional time).

favorite thing - wednesday night meals.

what would i change - the picture of the church on the website. i don't know who decided to take the picture with the shadows like that, but it's been up for years. it needs to be changed.

Can I wear jeans? is there a church in alaska where you can't wear jeans? quite a few people dress up, but quite a few don't too.

Name of church : Scenic Park Bible Church
City : Anchorage
Website: www.spbcalaska.com
What's the worship music like? (Contemporary, hymns, long, fast, loud etc?) :
mostly hymns/choruses with instruments ( trombone , clarinet , flute etc..)
What's the speaking like? (Old school Bible, culturally relevant, by video etc?) it's not all old school bible , it's right here right now what's happening in your life . down to earth kind of pastor
What's the childcare like?
we take kids from like age 0-like 3 or 4 in nursery during the service. sunday school for kids 2-5 and then 6-8 , 9-12 , and jr sr high . no creepers work in nursery just for all of your relief.
What's your favorite thing?
it's a smaller church , so i know everybody and i've been going there ever since i was born .. and i just love it .
What would you change?
i would make dress a bit more casual , and make the music more upbeat and not just droning on hymns
Can I wear jeans?
absolutely!!! i do almost every sunday!

hope this helps :)
