WHAT DO I WEAR?
Come as you are. You will see jeans and t-shirts, dresses/coats and ties, and everything in between. We believe it's the attitude of your heart, not your outward appearance that matters most to God.
WHERE DO I PARK?
If you are a first-time guest, we have parking lot attendants and greeters to help guide you to a great spot.
WHERE’S THE ENTRANCE?
Entrances are located on the front of the building and each side.
A greeter will be ready to assist you at each doorway.
WHAT TIME DO I NEED TO ARRIVE?
We recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the service so you can park and find a seat. Leave a little more time if you need to check preschoolers into the nursery.

HOW LONG IS THE SERVICE?
Services are one hour in duration.
WHAT IS A SERVICE LIKE?
We gather to worship Jesus and encourage each other. Our worship is a God-centered celebration. Each service begins with music that is meant to be engaging and heartfelt while seeking to focus our minds and hearts on God. The sanctuary is a traditional setting with high ceilings, stained glass windows, and cushioned wooden pews. Two large screens make it easy to follow along and participate. You will hear a message based on the Bible. It is our hope and goal that the message will encourage and equip. The heart of our church is helping people connect with God.

Our facility is handicapped-accessible. There are specially designated handicapped parking spots located near the entrance on the west side of the building.

Our ushers will be happy to help you locate seating for yourself and anyone who is accompanying you.
WHAT WILL MY CHILDREN DO WHILE I’M IN THE SERVICE?

DO I NEED TO BRING A BIBLE TO CHURCH?
You don't have to bring a Bible unless you want to. Bible verses are written out on the screens located at the front of the sanctuary and there are Bibles located in each pew if you’d like to follow along.
WILL I HAVE TO SIGN ANYTHING OR BE SINGLED OUT?
We want you to relax and be comfortable. You won’t be singled out in any way. You won’t have to wear a name tag or fill anything out unless you want to. You don’t have to sing along or pray if you don’t feel comfortable. And you won't be expected to give any money. We consider the worship service our gift to you.
