FAQ
Q: What do Moravian's Believe?
A: Moravian beliefs emphasize a Christ-centered, practical faith that values Christian unity (rather than a rigid adherence to doctrines), missionary outreach, and personal devotion. They are known for their openness to other Christian traditions and their focus on love and simplicity in their spiritual practices. Moravians famously adhere to the principle, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; and in all things, love.” This means they believe that Christians should be united in the core tenets of the faith, but there is room for diversity in other areas, such as worship styles or non-core theological issues.

Q: What is a worship experience like for me and my family?
A: We believe worship is for the whole family, but we also understand the needs of each family differ. Worship lasts approximately an hour with hymns, praise songs, scripture, sermon and more. There are activity bags for kids and an unstaffed nursery where caretakers can go and hear the service while playing with the littlest among us. We are welcoming of all ages and abilities and understand church is a place of worship, not a library of quiet. You may even find families dancing in the balcony! We have screens for easy reading and you can participate as much or as little as you like. All are welcome.
Q: Where do Moravians fall on divisive issues?
A: Moravians choose to build relationships rather than let issues divide us. Moravians are varied in their politics, understandings, beliefs and practices. We choose to welcome everyone and love people as they are.
Q: Tell me about membership
A: Members of Ebenezer Moravian Church experience connections in a variety of ways. The Moravian Church has no hierarchy, meaning all are called to be disciples and no one individual is closer to God, not even the pastor. We are all called and equipped with different gifts, so members find ways to serve Christ in a variety ways from serving on a board, youth events, fellowship hosts, ushers, and more. Joining is simple, expressing an interest and meeting with the pastor is the first step. Afterwards, you can choose to join during a worship service or opt to continue on as a visitor, still having the opportunities to actively participate in all areas of interest. Members get a discount on burial plots and cemetery costs, have the ability to serve on a governing board and have a voice and vote at church council. Visitors are welcome to share voice, serve on a variety of committees and be part of any and all Ebenezer activities.
