  The Sunday Experience
Where Do I Enter?
The Worship Center, home to our 9:15 traditional service and 10:45 blended service, is the building closest to Chalkville Road (featuring stained glass and a steeple). Entering any of the exterior doors will leave you just a few seconds away from finding a good seat. The Venue, where our 9:15 and 10:45 contemporary services take place, is located at the rear of our property. However, entering any door will lead you to both arenas. You will see directional signs that will guide you.


Worship Services

We offer four morning worship services, letting you worship in the way you're most comfortable.  Worship takes place in our Sanctuary and within our newest facility, The Venue, occurring simultaneously with a message simulcast between rooms.

9:15 (Traditional worship in the Sanctuary)
9:15 (Contemporary worship in the Venue)
10:45 (Blended worship in the Sanctuary)
10:45 (Contemporary worship in the Venue)

If you are visiting us, we want you to know that you are our guest.  When the service begins, you'll enjoy the musical selections and worship that you are comfortable with as well as the down-to-earth style of our Pastor, Buddy Champion.  You will not, however, be asked to stand, be singled out or recognized in any way. You're part of the family.  Just relax and enjoy the morning.


Sunday School

Sunday School (sometimes called "Bible study) takes place at 8:00, 9:15 & 10:45 AM, and is important to a person's walk with Christ.  For a complete listing of classes, and to connect to a like-minded group, visit our Sunday School pageOr for assistance, call us at 228-1006.


Childcare

We know your child's experience with us is just as important to you as your own.  Just off the Sanctuary, you'll find the Information Center in the Gathering Space to help you know where to go. A representative will even take you. Your child will have a great time in our clean, convenient and safe facilities with our loving childcare workers, letting you enjoy the morning as well. Childcare during worship is available for children six-weeks through age five.


Children/Students

There's always a lot going on for our children and students on Sundays.  Children's church for first through fourth graders is a high energy, fun time of learning, singing and Bible study, led by Children's Minister Blake Kersey and his crew.  Our students (grades 7-12) led by Jeff Gardner and Dan Strickland have Sunday School classes designed just for them.
