Are You a First-Time Guest?

If this is your first time here, we have a gift for you! Visit the welcome table in the foyer, and a member of our Guest Connections Team (they’ll be wearing a white name tag) will happily assist you. 

Nursery and Childcare

Our nursery is available for infants to pre-k students. We believe in family worship, so your kids are welcome to stay in the worship service with you. We have a time for children during worship where kids are invited to come forward to hear from our children’s ministry team. If your children are joining you in worship, we offer “wiggle bags” filled with activities for your children to do during worship. Wiggle bags may be found in the back of the sanctuary.

A Night in Bethlehem: Sunday, December 13, 5:00-7:00 p.m., Fellowship Hall

It's a normal night in Bethlehem with its shops, bakers, and traders. Yet in a manger lies a newborn baby — One who would be called the King of Kings. In December, families are invited to visit ancient Bethlehem as its townspeople wait for and celebrate the birth of Christ. You'll be able to explore Bethlehem's markets, interact with its citizens, and experience a live nativity scene!
