We recognize visiting a church for the first time can be intimidating, but it is our goal to make your first visit as smooth and welcoming as possible. The best place to enter the church is through the glass doors in the center of the building. You’ll spot these from the parking lot. Volunteers will greet you at the door, offer directions, and answer any questions you may have. Feel free to grab a cup of coffee in the lobby, and don’t forget to pick up a small gift from the Welcome Desk as a token of our appreciation for visiting our community of faith.
Families with children are invited to choose between worshipping together in the Worship Center or taking children to Kids Worship in the children’s ministry area. We have special areas for children in the Worship Center where they can play, color, and worship with a little more wiggle room if needed. On the first Sunday of each month, Kids Worship joins the main worship service to celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion as a big family. Nursery for infants through Pre-K is available every week.
