NEW HERE?

How do I know where to go?

  • In the parking lot to the left of the church, there's a wheelchair ramp and front double doors that lead to a small lobby.  Once inside, go through the double doors on the right and straight ahead to the sanctuary (big seating area with stained glass windows).
  • If you go in the front doors on the right of the building, you'll be in the Christian Education wing.  Simply follow the hallway on the left to the sanctuary.
  • There’s always someone just outside the sanctuary door to greet you and help you in any way we can.
  • If service has started, the greeter may have stepped just inside the door, but will be on the lookout for you and happy to get you a program so you can follow along.

Will I have to say anything, give money or be singled out in any way?

  • No!  We want you to be comfortable.
  • We don’t ask visitors to wear nametags or anything. There are visitor cards you’re welcome to fill out with as much information as you’d like…or not at all.
  • We do pass an offering basket because most of us who’ve made this church our home choose to give back to God a portion of what He’s given us to support our ministries.
  • If you’re our guest, please feel no obligation to give. Simply pass the basket along.

What else should I know?

  • Visitor Information Packets are available from the greeters or on the Visitor Information table, which you'll find straight ahead as you come through the doors from the foyer (heading toward the sanctuary).
  • Fellowship Time and refreshments are downstairs in Fellowship Hall following worship if you'd like to join us!
