Walking into a new church can be awkward. You may not know anyone and it may not be clear exactly where to go or what to do. We’d hate for you to miss out because of a little uncertainty. That’s why we’ve answered a few common questions about our church, ensuring that your first visit will be an easy and encouraging experience.
There are two main spaces on our campus: The Hoffmeister Center, where Modern Worship takes place at 9:30am, and The Sanctuary, which hosts our Classic Worship service at 11:00am.
We don’t really care what you wear as long as you wear something. Our multigenerational church is made up of suits and shorts alike. Our 9:30 service tends to be more casual (guys wear anything from shorts and t-shirts to slacks and a button-down shirt). At 11:00 you’ll see some in jeans and polo shirts and some in a shirt and tie.
Children grades K-6th take part in our 9:30 Modern service by participating in worship and a short message tailored just for them, the children are dismissed partway through the service with a leader for Children’s Church across the street in our chapel.
Our friendly Nursery and Pre-K volunteers are ready to care for your children in the Christian Education Building directly behind our Sanctuary. Just drop them off before or after the service and enjoy your time with adults in worship. All of our volunteers must pass a standard background check and have been through child safety training.
During the 11:00am Classic Worship we offer Sunday School for all ages in our Christian Education Building.
While both services feature the same down-to-earth style of teaching, the 9:30am Modern Worship service features an informal and relaxed atmosphere with a contemporary approach to worship. Modern Worship takes place in the Hoffmeister Center, located off Canal St.
The 11:00am Classic Worship service highlights the rich history of Christian worship including liturgy and choral music. Classic Worship takes place in The Sanctuary located at the corner to 20th and Canal St.
Of course! We serve the good stuff here. Grab a cup and mingle before and after the 9:30am service on the east side of the Hoffmeister gym or before and after the 11:00am in a clearly marked side room off the Sanctuary.
We are an intentionally intergenerational congregation who love Jesus and the community in which God has placed us. We love to see the next generation succeed and diligently pass on the deep tenants of the Christian faith. We’re a big church that feels small and there’s always room for one more.
Come by the info kiosk in the main lobby and meet our friendly staff. We want to give you a free gift and answer any questions you may have. You can even arrange to meet one of our pastors there.
