What should I do when I arrive?  
 

Enter the church through the center doors and stop at the Welcome Center in the Commons area to pick up information and meet our Welcome Center attendant who can answer questions and direct you toward the Sanctuary, Sunday school, rest room or refreshments. Get a name tag near the front door and register your attendance by signing our Guest Book or filling out a “contact card" available in the pew rack during worship. If possible, introduce yourself to our pastor on your way out of the service or during fellowship in the Commons. Dress comfortably and bring friends!
 

Tell me about Holy Communion

Holy Communion is celebrated at each of our three Sunday services every week. We use both a Common Cup and individual cups, consecrated wine and grape juice in the distribution. Children are invited to come to the altar and receive a blessing.  

What about Childcare?

Childcare is available every Sunday morning from 8:00 am–12:00 noon. Parents can enjoy worship or fellowship while the littlest ones play in a a safe, caring, supervised environment. A Cry Room for parents who wish to quiet a fussy child is located in the back of the Sanctuary. Diaper changing facilities available in both men’s and women’s rest rooms.
