Just pick the service that is most convenient for you and stop by. Each service features excellent programs for children from birth through 6th grade. We recommend you arrive approximately 20-30 minutes before the service so you won't feel rushed.
From the moment you pull into the parking lot, you'll be made to feel at home. First time guests are invited to take advantage of reserved parking on the front row next to the Worship Center. Our greeters will be poised and ready to take you where you need to go or answer any questions you may have.
If you have children, you'll want to take advantage of our safe and secure children's services designed just for them. As you enter the worship center, our ushers will welcome you and direct you to a seat, if you desire. Then, sit back, relax and enjoy the service!
You'll experience a warm, casual atmosphere where the coffee is great, the people are friendly, and the worship is dynamic. Our desire is to help you to connect in real relationship with Jesus Christ and with other people. Each worship service includes heartfelt music that will draw you close to God and an inspiring Bible message that you will find relevant for your life now. We offer communion every week and encourage all believers to partake. While you will see many different types of dress, you'll probably feel most comfortable in business casual.
You'll find first-class ministries for your children, from birth–5th Grade. Our Garden Center (Ages birth-pre-Kindergarten), located just across the Worship Center, offers a warm, colorful and caring environment for your precious ones, with rooms designed for each stage of development.
Your children, from Kindergarten–5th Grade, will be at home in the Orchard Center. Your girls and boys will experience church with singing and teaching created to present God's truth in fun and innovative ways. They won't want to miss a single service.
Our children’s ministry is a safe and secure area where you can feel safe allowing your children engage God in their own way. Before you take your children to the room, please stop by one of our children’s welcome centers to get a family ID number.
