Welcome To Our Church!

We are so glad you are here! You’ll find all the information you need on this website, or by calling our church office.

We look forward to seeing you in church this Sunday! If you’ve already visited, please fill out this form to help us get to know you a little better!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Should I Wear?

    Dress comfortably. Some people dress up, some wear jeans, and in summertime some wear shorts and sandals! But most wear dressy casual and comfortable clothes on Sunday mornings. Don't worry about what you wear ...God loves us all.
  • When Should I Arrive?

    Worship Services begin at 8:30 in the Chapel, 9:30 in the gym, and 10:30 in the Sanctuary. You'll probably want to arrive about 15 minutes early the first time you visit and locate our visitor information in the atrium, as well as locate the Sunday School rooms.
  • Where Do I Go Once I Arrive?

    If you are attending the 10:30 Worship Service, once you arrive, you will want to enter the building using any of the doors closest to the Sanctuary. You will find doors in the front, on the west end (under the portico), and in the rear which will bring you into the atrium. From there you will go right to the Sanctuary doors.

    If you are attending the 9:30 Contemporary Service, you will want to park in the rear of the building and enter through Pierson Hall and proceed across the hallway to the gym. You can also enter the atrium doors, turn to your left, proceed down the stairs and then turn right into the gym.

    If you will be attending our 8:30 worship service in the chapel, you will want to park on the west side of the facility nearest the round chapel.

    Our campus map features a complete floorplan of the church and is color-coded to show you which doors are the best to enter for each area of the church.
  • What about My Children?

    We offer a nursery for infants, and childcare for all ages for both the 9:30 Contemporary Service and the 10:30 service. The nursery and toddlers rooms are located in the Education wing on the lower level. Sunday school for children ages K - 6 is held in the Education wing immediately following the children's moment at the 10:30 service.
  • Can I Bring My Beverage into Worship?

    We believe that in worship we are not spectators but are actively joining in the praise of God. So we encourage people to finish their beverage if possible before worship. We have a Holy Donut Shop in the church kitchen that serves coffee and donuts on Sundays from 9:00 to 10:15 (except during the summer).
  • Is the Church Wheelchair Accessible?

    Yes! Our sanctuary, chapel and gym are all wheelchair accessible. There is also handicapped parking available near all entrances and there are pew spaces available in the sanctuary for wheelchairs. There are also wheelchair accessible restrooms. Should you need them, wireless hearing assist devices are available for use in the sanctuary.
  • Do You Offer Any Special Services?

    Special worship services during the year include the Christmas Eve Candlelight services at 7:00pm and 9:00pm, an Ash Wednesday service of ashes at 7:30pm, Maundy Thursday service at 7:30pm, and a contemporary Good Friday service located in the gym at 7:30pm. Child care is offered at all of these services except for the 9:00pm Christmas Eve service.
  • Do You Offer Transportation Assistance?

    Our Transportation Ministry serves local residents providing transportation to and from our 10:30am Sunday Worship Service. Our bus is fully handicapped accessible and is air conditioned. For more information, contact our church office at 330-673-5879, ext. 10. To arrange for a ride, call 330-673-5879, ext. 24.
