9 a.m.
In the Worship Center
Music, teaching from the Bible, and a room full of ordinary people who are glad you came.
- Kids Ministry for birth through fifth grade
We'd love for you to worship with us.
Every Sunday, you'll find ordinary people who love Jesus. We gather around heartfelt worship and biblical teaching, and we celebrate the grace of God that came to us through Christ. You don't need to have anything figured out first. Come as you are.
Sunday mornings
Two services, same worship and same teaching. Come to whichever one fits your morning.
11 a.m.
In the Worship Center
The same service as 9 a.m., an hour later, with a few more options for students.
- Kids Ministry for birth through fifth grade
- Middle School Ministry meets this hour
- Spanish translation available

9 a.m.
Sunday Worship in the Chapel
Starting Sunday, October 4
The same 9 a.m. service, in the Chapel. Lights stay on, the sound is turned down, there is no haze, and the service plays on the screen start to finish.
- Sensory friendly, and made for anyone who finds the main room too loud
- Room to breathe if a packed house is a lot
- Come and go whenever you need to
High School Ministry meets Sunday evenings at 5 p.m.
Your first Sunday, step by step
Walking into a church you have never been to is the hard part. Here is the whole thing before you get here, so none of it is a surprise.
1
Park
We have lots on both sides of the building, off Marsh Lane and off International Parkway. Either one works, and you will not have far to walk.
2
Come in
There is a main entrance on each side of the building, and both are under a covered portico, so you can get out of the weather before you are through the door. Park off Marsh Lane and you come in the West Entrance. Park off International Parkway and you come in the East Entrance.
Someone will be there watching for people they have not met yet. Stop and ask them anything, including where the restrooms are.
3
Ask us to take you to the kids area
If you have kids with you, this is your first stop. Tell anyone at a welcome desk on your way in and they will walk you to Kids Ministry check-in.
The kids area takes a few turns to find, so please let someone walk you rather than going looking for it. They would far rather take you there than have you wander.
4
Find a seat
Sit anywhere you like. Nobody will call you out, ask you to stand up, or put you on the spot. Arriving late is fine. So is leaving early.
5
Come say hello afterward
Guest Gathering happens right after both services, at the Gathering points just outside the main doors of the Worship Center. Connection Guides and pastors are there to answer whatever you want to ask, with no sign-up and no commitment. More about Guest Gathering
What to expect
How long is it?
About 75 to 80 minutes, start to finish. Long enough to settle in, short enough to plan the rest of your day around.
What to wear
You will find anything from shorts and t-shirts to business casual. We care a lot more about meeting you than about what you have on.
Worship style
Contemporary, with a few hymns on occasion. Sing along, or stand there and listen. Both are worship.
Teaching
Every service includes a message centered on the Bible. More about what we believe.

However you need to be here
Sundays at 9 a.m.
Sunday Worship in the Chapel
Starting Sunday, October 4
Not a traditional service and not a different style of worship. The same service, in a room that is easier to sit in.
Some people want a full room and a big sound. Other people cannot take in a single word once it gets loud. Both of those people belong here, so the 9 a.m. service also runs in the Chapel, with the lights on, the volume down, and no haze. It plays on the screen the whole way through, start to finish.
Come because the main room is too loud for you. Come because a packed room makes you anxious. Come because sitting near a door is what makes an hour possible. Come because you want to be here and this is how you can. If you have been looking for a sensory-friendly service, this is ours. You do not need a reason, and you do not need to explain it to anyone.
Ask anyone at the doors on a Sunday morning and they will walk you to the Chapel.
Special Needs Ministry
We believe God made every person in his image, and it is our privilege to walk alongside these valuable members of our church family. Tell us what your family needs on a Sunday and we will get it set up.
Traducción al español
Spanish translation is available during the 11 a.m. service. Ask at the doors and someone will get you set up.
La traducción al español está disponible durante nuestro servicio de las 11 a.m.
Let us know you are coming
Tell us you are planning a visit and we will watch for you, save you a hand to shake, and have someone ready to answer whatever you want to ask.
Prefer to turn up on Sunday without telling anyone first? That works too. We will be glad you came either way.
Once you are here
Sunday morning is the front door. This is what is behind it.
Adult Ministry
Groups, classes, and events for adults in every stage of life. Whether you are a young adult, a college student, single, married, or retired, there is a room here with your name on it.
Kids Ministry
Birth through fifth grade, most Sundays at both the 9 and 11 a.m. services. Large-group teaching and small groups, so kids are known by name and not just counted.
Student Ministry
Middle school and high school, walking students through their own faith rather than their parents' faith. Middle School meets Sundays at 11 a.m. High School meets Sundays at 5 p.m.
Care & Support
Our heart is to come alongside you and equip you through your challenging circumstances. You do not have to have it together to be here.
Special Needs Ministry
God made each individual in his image, and it is our privilege to walk alongside these valuable members of our church family. Tell us what Sunday needs to look like for your family.
Missions
Moving with Christ to restore hope, value, and dignity here and around the world, through five initiatives: reaching the unreached, responding to crisis, strengthening churches, advocating for children, and empowering women.
