Parking Information

As our guest, we’d love to make your arrival as easy as possible. After entering the property, continue down the driveway along the right side of the Worship Center. You’ll find designated guest parking directly in front of the covered overhang. If those spaces are full, additional parking is available in the lots directly in front of the church building on the left.

Start at the Welcome Center

Enter through the doors beneath the covered overhang into our main lobby. Once inside, you’ll find the Welcome Desk just ahead and to your left. Our greeters will be happy to answer your questions, help each member of your family find the right location, and provide a special gift for first-time guests.

A large congregation gathered inside a church for a worship service or event, with a stage at the front where musicians and a person are singing, playing guitars, and leading the worship. There are multiple hanging lights on the ceiling and a projector displaying song lyrics or scripture on a screen behind the stage. The audience is standing, some with hands raised, participating in the service.

Worship Service

Join us for worship each Sunday at 9:00 or 11:00 a.m. Both services include the same music, structure, and biblical teaching, but each has a slightly different atmosphere. The 9:00 service is smaller, more intimate, and often more interactive, with our pastor teaching closer to the congregation from the center aisle. The 11:00 service offers the same music and message in a larger gathering.

Each service begins with a welcome, announcements, and prayer, followed by 15–20 minutes of singing led by our worship team. Our pastor then teaches from the Bible for approximately 40 minutes. Afterward, we invite you to stay, meet others, and enjoy time together.

    Attend a Community Group

    BUILD Groups include Connect Groups, Small Groups, men’s and women’s Bible studies, prayer groups, and other gatherings throughout the church. Although each group meets in a different setting and serves a distinct purpose, all provide opportunities to grow in God’s Word, build meaningful relationships, pray for and encourage one another, and live out our faith together. We’ll help you find a group where you can take your next step.
