We can’t wait to meet you
We want to make your visit as stress-free as possible. Here’s everything you need to know before you arrive.
Visiting a new church can feel intimidating
So we’ve answered some common questions to help you feel prepared — where to park, where to go, and what to expect.
Whether you need help with directions, want to ask about kids’ programs, or just want a familiar face to greet you, we’re here to make sure you feel at ease.
Where do I park and where do I go?
We have clearly marked parking on both the north and south sides of the building. If you have kids, parking on the north side is usually the easiest option. When you arrive, our A-Team will be happy to help you find your way.
What are services like?
Our services include modern worship music and a practical message from the Bible, and most last just under an hour. Our traditional service at 8:00am features the same message with more traditional music.
What should I wear?
Come as you are. You will see everything from jeans and hoodies to shorts, flip flops, and dress clothes, so wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Is there a Thursday service?
Yes! Our Thursday night service at 6pm is the same service you would experience on the weekend, just on a different day — so you have options that fit your schedule.
Can I watch online?
Not in the area? You can watch our services live online, or catch up on past messages whenever it’s convenient for you.
Safe, fun, and built for them
We offer safe, age-appropriate environments for kids from birth through fifth grade.
Trained volunteers and a secure Planning Center check-in process give parents peace of mind and will guide you through drop-off and pick-up. Pre-register your kids to make your first visit smoother and faster.
