Frequently Asked Questions

What are the services like?
When attending a Sunday service at TFA, you can expect to be warmly greeted upon arrival by friendly, helpful people. At Topeka First there are services for the whole family that include lively and expressive contemporary worship, a time of biblical teaching, and an opportunity to make a decision to follow Jesus Christ. The service is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes in length and is designed to equip and inspire you to connect to God, to others, and to your calling. You can expect to be greeted multiple times during your time with us. As our guest, you are welcome to participate in every part of the service, but please do not feel any obligation to participate in the offerings that are received. The service is our gift to our guests.
What can I expect to see?
As a Spirit filled, Spirit led church, we are always open to letting the Holy Spirit orchestrate the service, even when it leads in a different direction than was originally planned. You may experience people clapping, raising their hands or kneeling in worship. You may hear people expressing their agreement with the message by saying “amen” etc. You may also experience the gifts of the Spirit being expressed, but a biblical explanation will normally follow. If you have questions, please feel free to approach one of our staff at the end of the service and they will gladly answer your questions. Topeka First Assembly is affiliated with the Assemblies of God.
What is the preaching like?
Expect to have a Biblically based message presented by our Senior Pastor or one of our pastoral staff that will inspire and encourage you in your spiritual journey with Christ. At the conclusion of the service, there will be an opportunity for you to receive prayer or visit with any of our staff.
We pray your time with us is meaningful, and that you feel welcomed and refreshed.
