Watch to see exactly what it looks and feels like to attend our Life Center worship service.
Our Life Center worship is led by our Praise Team, a full band, consisting of guitars, keyboard, bass, drums, and sometimes other instruments, and outstanding vocalists. We sing a mixture of classic hymns and contemporary worship songs that you may be familiar with hearing on Christian radio.
This service is also LIVE-streamed each Sunday to Facebook, YouTube, and our website for those who cannot make it in person.

We would love to introduce you to our team, get to know you, answer your questions, and help you get involved at HF!
A worship service just for kids! First Kids Worship is led by kids with kid friendly worship songs, a bible story, and a game or activity to help them remember and and apply God's Word to their lives!
Nursery is also held at this time for 0-3 years, with a whole classroom devoted or each age.
Our Guest Services Team members are always happy to assist you. They will be wearing lanyards and be present in the parking lot, at the Life Center entrance, and inside the Life Center. We encourage you to stop by the Guest Services tents on your way in and let our volunteers know that you are visiting for the first time. They will assist you in any way needed.
We have dedicated gust parking spots near the front door of the Life Center, and we encourage you to use them. We also have a golf cart roaming the parking lots to assist you if you park far away or if it is raining.
On your way in, you will be greeted and receive a bulletin. If you need help getting an infant to the nursery or your kids to First Kids Worship, a Guest Services team member will be happy to help you.
Once inside, help yourself to our coffee bar with coffee and hot chocolate – its free!
Rocking chairs are located in a designated area for parents with infants and young children.
On the bulletin, there is a QR code that we encourage first time guests to scan to let us know of your visit. When you fill it out online, we give you the extra option of choosing one of our featured ministry partners that we will donate $5 dollars to in your honor! There is also a Guest Card attached to the bulletin if you prefer to fill it out and return to Guest Services. Either way, be sure to stop by Connect Central (blue tables in the back) and get a free gift!
We know that the "unknown" of visiting a new church can be worrisome.

At 10:15 am, Ashley, our Praise Team leader, welcomes everyone to worship. You’ll be invited to stand, and we join our Praise Team in worship to the Lord. The lyrics to every song are shown on three large screens.
After this opening song, one of our Pastors will come onto the stage and welcome you, make pertinent announcements, introduce the day’s sermon topic, and lead the gathering in prayer.
Our Praise Team will once again invite the congregation to stand, and we will offer praise to the Lord through a couple of songs. At the end of the praise time, Pastor Mack will come on stage and begin preaching the sermon. Most of our sermons are in multi-part series, covering various topics such as books of the Bible, topical issues, or Bible character studies.
Key points, along with the Scripture used for the sermon, are broadcast onto the large screen to assist you in following along. You’re encouraged to use your Bible, whether in print or on your smartphone, or we can provide a Bible for you at Guest Services. Message Notes are included in the bulletin if you would like to keep notes as the sermon is preached. Sermons are typically 40 minutes long and end with a prayer and an invitation to personally respond to what God has said to you in the message.
During this part of the service, we stand and sing a song of praise to God, and we welcome any who desire to come to the alter and pray or seek prayer with a pastor.
After this response time is over, one of our pastors will close the service with final remarks and a prayer of benediction over the congregation, and we are dismissed to go home.
Following the service, you have the opportunity to visit the Guest Services tent, fellowship with someone you know or met, or speak with a pastor.
There are offering plates available at the entry door of the gym, but you are not required or expected to place money in them. Hudson First’s ministries, missions, and operations are funded through the consistent and faithful giving of its members.
