Let Us Know You're Coming
​
We would love to get in touch before you ever walk through the door!

This is a place holder for the welcome video which will be awesome and might go before the let us know you're coming part but I don't know yet.


Where do I park?

You can park in any space you want to! No one has reserved spaces, so if your car will fit in that spot, generally speaking, you can park there, with the exception of handicap spots of course.

What's next?

Once you park, there will be someone to greet you at the door and let you know where you need to go. If you come at 9:30am for Sunday School, they'll let you know where to take your kids, or if you're here for Adult Sunday School, they can point you in the right direction. Our greeters are all friendly and helpful, so don't be afraid to ask questions. If they know the answer they'll tell you, and if not, they'll send you to someone who does!

So it's time for the service.

When you walk into the Sanctuary, someone will hand you a bulletin to help guide you through the service. That incredibly difficult "when do I stand or sit or sing" feeling should go away as soon as you have the bulletin in your hands!

Know that you can sit anywhere you feel comfortable, be it the very back corner, right on the front row, or somewhere in between.

We open every service with a greeting followed by announcements. After that, we have a gathering song (we stand for every song). Next we have a prayer and at the Late Service we have a Children's Sermon. After the Children's Sermon, kids eight and under get to go back to one of the classrooms to play and learn during what we call Wiggles. There will be a few readings as well as a Sermon (see a sample sermon here). Next there will be more prayers followed by the offering and the sharing of the peace - this is when your kids will come back. After the sharing of the peace, there will be the distribution of communion (all are welcome to take communion or not), followed by a sending, blessing, and closing song.

The service is over!

Out in the lobby feel free to speak with our pastor or any of our members. Someone will surely want to talk to you!

If you have any more questions feel free to stop by the office or send us an email and we'll get back to you as quickly as we can.
