Plan your Visit
Visiting a new place can be uncomfortable. We realize that and want you to be well prepared before stepping foot on our campus. We hope the links below help you arrive feeling the fullness of God's love and our love of people.
We have worship services on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. with a mix of contemporary and traditional music, followed by a relevant, biblically sound message.
The Music
The best descriptor of our worship music style is a blend of traditional and contemporary. You'll regularly see us use a band featuring a variety of instruments (guitars, piano, drums, etc.), solos, and other ways to express our worship in song.
How to Dress?
You'll see people dressed in all kinds of ways. Even from the stage, it's not out of the ordinary for you to see someone in a sport coat or in jeans. The church as a whole has a similar variety; come in your tennis shoes or your shined dress shoes, just come with a heart of worship!
Where to Park?
When you arrive on our property, you'll notice a drive-through canopied entrance (Door 2). That entrance has guest parking located right in front of it. Right inside Door 2, you'll find our Welcome Center. If you're handicapped, we have spots available to you nearest our North entrance next to a small canvas canopied entrance (Door 1), in front of our drive-through canopied entrance (Door 2) and also near our south entrance closest to Parr St (Door 3).
Welcome Center
Once you've made it to our property and are parked, where do you go next? From either of the canopied entrances, you're close to our Worship Center. Right inside our drive-through canopied entrance (Door 2) you'll find our Welcome Center where volunteers will be glad to help you find the Worship Center, a Sunday School group for you and your children, or answer any other questions you may have.
Kids Bible Groups
From birth through 5th grade, we have a class for your child where they can begin or continue their journey toward knowing and following Jesus. Classes are divided by age/grade. When you arrive, visit our Welcome Center right inside Door 2 and our volunteers will be glad to help you get to our Kids Check-in area.
Children's Church
For children in PreK through Kindergarten, Children's Church exists to provide them an age-appropriate worship experience at 9:30 a.m.
Kids Worship
For children in grades 1-5, Kids Worship exists to provide the older elementary kids with an exciting and age-appropriate way to learn to worship God. Kids Worship is offered at 9:30 a.m.
Safety
We value the safety of your children so we start by running a background check on any adult working with your child. These background checks are renewed approximately every 2 years. We have full-time teachers in almost all of our classes so your children get to see a familiar smile each week and hear from a consistent teacher. Let us know about your child's allergies as we always try to accommodate the growing needs of children with allergies.
Check-in
As an added layer of protection for your child, we have an electronic check-in system. On your first visit you'll complete a form so you can be added to the system. You'll receive temporary labels to ensure that your child is released to whoever you give the matching label to. Each week after that you'll visit the "Kids Check-in" station where the printer will print your labels, one for you and one for your child. The Kids Check-in station is most easily accessed from Door 2 or 3.

Adult Sunday School is a great way to connect with a smaller group of people. It's easy to get lost and feel disconnected in a large worship gathering, so we encourage you to find a small group Sunday School where you can join in the mission to reach people for Christ, grow in understanding of God's Word, and minister to others.
Schedule
Classes are offered on Sunday mornings at 8:15 and 10:45 a.m. Please visit the Welcome Center right inside of Door 2 when you arrive and our volunteers will be glad to help you find a group. If you'd like to pick one out yourself before visiting, you can visit our Sunday School Finder to find a class.
