Where to Park and Where to Enter 

There is a parking lot right next to the church building on the south side for guests and visitors.  There is also a parking lot on Reynolds and 2nd Street.  You may also park on the curb of Reynolds street or north of the building on 1st street.  You will enter our building on the west side of Reynolds street where members of our Welcome Team are located.  They will give you a bulletin that provides the schedule of service.  This team is also ready to help you if you have children who attend class so that you will know where to take your child for Bible class if you are attending class.  Restrooms are located in our foyer and in the fellowship hall.  

Please don’t worry about what to wear.  You’ll see our church family has all  people dressed in all types of attire from dresses and suits to blue jeans.  

Directions

What to Expect During Worship Service

Worship is Sundays at 10:50 a.m. 

You will hear our faith expressed through a cappella singing.  A cappella singing is singing without instrumental accompaniment, emphasizing vocal praise.  The songs are displayed on a screen and you can feel free to sing or just listen to the songs.  Our minister will present a Bible-focused to life lessons that lasts around 30 minutes. We take communion each Sunday together by eating bread and drinking grape juice to remind us of the body and the blood of Jesus.  There is an opportunity provided to give to our work as a church through a financial collection (guests are not expected to give), and we have a time for scripture and announcements following with a prayer for closing. 

Sunday Morning Bible Classes

We have classes for all Ages at 10:00 a.m.

There are Bible classes for infants through 6th Grade in the main hallway off the south wing of the auditorium which include:
