Arrive
Park in the church lot along 5th Avenue, then choose the entrance that best fits where you are headed. The guide below will help you find your way.
Parking is along 5th Avenue
Your first Sunday
We’d love to meet you.
Questions about parking, which door to use, children, or worship style are completely normal. You do not have to figure it out alone—we want your first visit to feel comfortable and welcoming.
You are always welcome, with or without the form.
What your first Sunday can look like
Three simple steps. No guesswork.
Worship
Choose the setting that feels most comfortable: relaxed contemporary worship at 9:00 AM or traditional worship and hymns at 11:00 AM.
Come as you are—there is no dress code
Be welcomed
If you tell us you are coming, our small welcome team can answer your questions and help your first Sunday feel a little more familiar.
No pressure and no reservation required
Parking and entrances
Know where to go before you leave home.

A small welcome gift
Gift details are being confirmed and will be added here before launch.
This is not a reservation. It is simply a way for us to know your name, answer a question, or have someone ready to say hello.
Bringing children?
Children are welcome to stay with you in worship. Young children may also use McPherson Chapel on the second floor, where there are toys, room to move, and a giant dry-erase board. Children’s activity tote bags are available for worship, too.
Choose what works for your family: worship together, chapel time, or an activity bag.
Still wondering about something?
Use the note in the visit form to ask about accessibility, children, arrival, or anything that would help you feel more at ease.
Ask with your visit noteCome as you are. No required dress, no church familiarity needed.
