Commonly Asked Questions

Got questions? We have answers!

We want you and those attending with you to feel welcomed! First, be sure to park in a clearly marked Guest Parking space, it's a shorter walk to the doors. After you arrive, just let one of our greeters know that you are “new here.” They will direct you to the Welcome Counter to help you get familiar with the church, get you a free cup of coffee/tea, and answer any questions you may have.
