I'm New

Anytime we try something for the first time, it's typical for us to be a little anxious; we don't like the unknown! In order to calm any nervousness, here is a little of what you can expect on your first visit.
 

As you drive onto our campus, you will notice multiple entrances.  The most common entrance is the covered entrance on the northeast side.  When entering,  you will be welcomed by one of our church members. They will be glad to answer any questions that you may have.

As you make your way into our facility, if you have children you are welcome to accompany them to our preschool department or to one of our Sunday school classes located in our children's department. As you approach the preschool, you will be asked to register your child - this merely serves as a security mechanism that protects all our precious children. You will be given an identity badge with a security code that will allow you to pick your child up. If, however, you would like to worship with your child, please know that they are welcome in any of our services.

We look forward to meeting and welcoming you!
