Helpful hints to enjoy your worship experience:
Did you know it makes a difference where you sit? If you have a hard time hearing, the center sections are a little louder than the outer sections. If you prefer it quieter, please consider sitting in the outer sections.
In the Worship Center, please consider moving towards the center of the row of chairs to enable those folks that come in after you to find a seat.
If you have a hard time standing, feel free to sit during the worship songs.
Children (Birth-Grade 12)
Nursery is available for children birth-3 years, located in Hallway 3. Sunday School is available for PreK-Grade 12 at 11am during the school year. Children’s Church is available for Preschool children. They will be dismissed during the service to the classroom across the Commons. Kids’ Worship Bags are available for use during the service.
