When are your services?
Our Sunday morning service begins at 10:15 a.m. We would encourage you to arrive by 10:00 to give yourself time to park, stop at our first-time guest area and get to your seat. We even have coffee available in the side foyer off the sanctuary. Help yourself!
What is your worship service like?
The music is a mix of traditional hymns and contemporary Christian. It is arranged in a way that it will relate to Christians of any age. The preaching is done expositorily and presented in a way that it can be understood what it is the scriptures are telling us. We are a family so, it has a real family atmosphere. We also have hearing assistance devices available for the service.
How do people dress at your church?
You’ll find some people wear suits or dresses, others are more comfortable in slacks or jeans. The important thing to remember about what you decide to wear on Sunday, whether formal or casual, is to feel comfortable with what you wear, and that you are welcome!
Where do I park? Where do I go?
The best place to park if you are a guest is the front parking lot. Come into the building through the Worship Center entrance that faces Telegraph Road. Handicap parking spaces are clearly marked. As you enter the building, you will be greeted by one of our members at the door. They will be able to guide you in the right direction, or answer questions.!
What about my kids?
Kids Praise is our children’s worship ministry during the morning worship service. This is for kids in K-5th grade. They meet on the lower level.
We also have kids ministry for nursery and pre-K during the service on the lower level.
Our greeting team will be happy to help you and your family get to the kids area.
