Before you come

Common questions

Is there a dress code?

No. Come as you are.

Will I be asked to stand up or introduce myself?

No. During the passing of the peace, everyone stands and greets the people nearby; a handshake or hello is enough.

How long is worship?

About an hour. What to expect is outlined above, and last Sunday’s bulletin shows the full order.

What about the offering?

It usually comes before the sermon and is passed rather than asked for. Learn about giving whenever that is useful.

What do I do with my children?

Children are welcome here. Bring them into the Sanctuary with you. After the Children’s Message, children in preschool through 5th grade walk back to Sunday School with their teachers. Nursery care is available for infants through 2.5 years. On your child’s first Sunday, please walk them back to their classroom and introduce them to the teacher.

Where do I park?

Welcome! Park off Cherry Blossom Lane or in the main lot off Shannon Road. View parking on the map.

Where are the restrooms?

The primary restrooms are between the Wilderness Wing and the office. Additional restrooms are at the north end of the Youth Center. View them on the map.

Is there coffee afterward?

Yes, in the Social Hall. There is also coffee and donut holes before the service in front of the church.

Can I see what it is like before I come?

Yes. Every service streams live, and you can watch recent sermons in the sermon gallery.
