Good Questions

Frequently asked

What should I wear?
Come as you are. You'll see everything from jeans and sneakers to suits and Sunday best — wear whatever helps you feel at home.
How long is the service?
About 90 minutes — worship, prayer, and a teaching from Scripture. If you need to step out, that's totally fine.
What should I bring?
Just yourself. A Bible is great if you have one, but the passages will be on the screen. Pen and paper if you like to take notes.
Where do my kids go?
Kids are welcome in the service, or you can check them into our age-graded kids ministry in the lobby before the service starts.
Is there parking?
Yes — free street parking on Orange St and the surrounding blocks, with plenty of open spots on Sunday mornings.
I have mobility needs — is the building accessible?
Yes. The main entrance is wheelchair-accessible and there's reserved seating space in the sanctuary. Reach out ahead of time and we'll make sure everything is ready for you.
What if I arrive late?
Walk on in. No judgment if you slip in after we've started — a host can help you find a seat.
