Sunday Morning Worship Service
This will probably be what you try out first. It starts at 10:45am, and usually lasts until around 12:00pm. Come in the front doors to our Welcome Center! Someone will be there to help you if needed. It's that easy!

Parking?
When you pull into the parking lot, you will notice reserved parking for Guests. Of course, you are welcome to park anywhere you like. Handicap parking is available to the left of the Guest Parking and a little closer to the building.
What about my children?
Your children are welcome in the morning worship service!
From newborn's up we love families to worship together. We want parents to teach and train their children, and learning to worship with everyone else is an important part of that. If your child gets unruly or restless (believe us, we know how that is), you can take them out into the Welcome Area until they settle down. Then bring them back into the service. This is all part of training a child how to be part of the church.
Nursing mom's can use the nursing area outside the women's bathroom if they would like privacy.
Both Men's and Women's restrooms have changing tables.
Coloring sheets and crayons are located at the Welcome Desk to help little ones stay focused.

Yes, but are there activities for my kids?
There are!
While we encourage the family to worship together in the main worship area on Sunday mornings, we do offer child care. Birth through 2-year old's are welcome in the nursery for the morning worship service (at 10:45am) as well as during the Core Group meetings (at 9:30am).
During the morning worship (at 10:45am) we offer a children's time for 3-year old's to first grade during the Sunday morning message time. They stay in the worship service during worship through music and scripture time. Then they go to a room to hear an age appropriate study. (Again, the whole family is welcome to worship together for the whole service if you choose.)

For ladies either a dress, skirt, or dress pants and top). Just click the YouTube icon and select a video to see what people are wearing on stage!
