VISIT
Plan Your Visit
We can't wait to meet you! Planning your visit isn’t required, but it really helps us prepare for you! It lets us know you're coming so we can greet you, answer any questions, and help make your first experience as smooth and welcoming as possible.
What to Expect
We know visiting a new church can feel a little intimidating — but we want you to feel right at home the moment you arrive. Whether you're exploring faith, coming back to church, or looking for a new church family, you’re welcome here.
Here’s what you can expect when you visit:
A Relaxed, Friendly Atmosphere
Come as you are! Most people dress casually, and we want you to feel comfortable. You’ll be greeted at the door by our welcome team who are happy to help you find your way around.
Engaging Worship & Relevant Teaching
Our services last about an hour and a half and include live worship music, prayer, and a Bible-based message that’s practical and easy to understand — whether you’ve been in church your whole life or this is your first time.
Something for the Whole Family
We love families! Our Kids Ministry is available for infants through 5th grade, with safe, age-appropriate environments where your kids will learn about Jesus and have a ton of fun. You can check them in when you arrive, and our trained volunteers will take care of the rest.
No Pressure, Just an Invitation
You won’t be singled out or asked to say anything. If you’re comfortable, we’d love for you to fill out a Connect Card so we can say hi, answer any questions, and help you take a next step when you’re ready.
Free Coffee & Donuts with Friendly Faces
Be sure to stop by our Welcome Center before or after the service — we’d love to meet you and give you a small gift just to say thanks for coming! And who doesn't like free coffee and donuts!
We’re excited to meet you and are ready to welcome you personally!
